| Or columbines, in purple dressed Nod o’er the ground-bird’s hidden nest. Bryant—To the Fringed Gentian. | 1 |

Elaine Goodale—Columbine. | 2 |
| O columbine, open your folded wrapper, Where two twin turtle-doves dwell! O cuckoopint, toll me the purple clapper That hangs in your clear green bell! Jean Ingelow—Songs of Seven. Seven Times One. | 3 |
