NEW SPRING: 33 by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: IN THE MORNING SEND I VIOLETS
Last Line: TIS OF THIS THAT THEY'RE THE TOKEN!
Subject(s): FLOWERS; VIOLETS;

IN the morning send I violets,
Early in the wood discover'd,
And at evening bring I roses
Pluck'd while twilight's hour still hover'd.

Knowest thou the hidden language
By these lovely flowerets spoken?
Truth by day-time, love at night-time --
'Tis of this that they're the token!
