Newark, New Jersey, United States] (November 1, 1871 – June 5, 1900 / New Jersey
No Violets
There was a land where lived no violets.
A traveller at once demanded : 'Why?'
The people told him:
'Once the violets of this place spoke thus:
'Until some woman freely gives her lover
To another woman
We will fight in bloody scuffle.''
Sadly the people added:
'There are no violets here.'
