Violets Under The Snow Composer(s): C.H.H. Pannell; Henry Tucker Performer(s): Mademoiselle Parepa
The April winds pip'd merry, and gay The April sun was burning bright And all the day had melted away The snow drifts clear and white 'Till the blue violet In the snow set Was waken'd from sleep by its fiery light
Chorus: Oh! there's nothing so bright By day, or by night In all the season's ebb and flow As the clear blue eyes Like mimic skies Of violets under the snow As the clear blue eyes Like mimic skies Of violets under the snow
The April wasted into the May And still the Mayday sun was bright And all day long, in sun and song Had wasted the snowdrift white 'Till the blue violet In the white snow set Sprang up on the grave of the snowdrift white
