My Frost-King - Song II

Brighter shone the golden shadows;

On the cool wind softly

The low, sweet tones of happy flowers,

Singing little Violet's name.'Mong the green trees was it whispered,

And the bright waves bore it

To the lonely forest flowers,

Where the glad news had not gone.

Thus the Frost-King lost his kingdom,

And his power to harm and blight.

Violet conquered, and his cold

Warmed with music, love, and light;

And his fair home, once so dreary,

Gay with lovely Elves and flowers,

Brought a joy that never

Through the long bright summer hours.

Thus, by Violet's magic power,

All dark shadows passed away,

And on the home of happy

The golden light for ever lay.

Thus the Fairy mission ended,

And all Flower-Land was

The "Power of Love," by gentle

That little Violet wrought.
