'Such a starved bank of moss...'

When I was about 12 years old I came across the Robert Browning poem: 'Such a starved bank of moss till that May morn.  Blue ran the flash across - violets were born!'.

Violets have always been a big favorite of mine and every year when the first violet blooms, I recite that poem to myself.  They usually start blooming in late March or April, but I feel the same delight that Browning did when he wrote that poem. 

Happy Spring!
