With the humble mignonette
And the blue-eyed violet. [ Julia C. R. Dorr, Earth to Earth ]

Of pure and heavenly root;

And yields the sweetest fruit. [ William Cowper ]

A handsome house to lodge a friend,
A river at my garden's end,
A terrace walk, and half a rood
Of land, set out to plant a wood. [ Swift ]

The mildest, purest soul within;

The sweetest fragrance in. [ Dawes ]
