• More shy than the shy violet,
      Hiding when the wind doth pass,
      Nestled in the nodding grass,
    With morning mist all wet,
      In open woodland ways
      The Quaker Lady strays.
    Pale as noonday cloudlets are,
      Floating in the blue,
    This little wildwood star
      Blooms in light and dew.

    Sun and shadow on her hair,...
