THE VIOLET

Buried in foliage green,
The sweetest flowers are seldom seen,
Hidden far from human sight,
They live their simple, perfumed life.
Rarely seen, even by the prying sunbeam
They bud alone, in solitude they fade unseen.

by
Arthur Ohnimus, chief clerk of the California State Assembly 1923-1963
