Poetry examples for “pansy”

Excerpts from the ReadingWillow English Library collection.

Heart's ease or pansy, pleasure or thought,
Which would the picture give us of these?

And down the borders, well I know,
The poppy and the pansy blow...
Oh! there the chestnuts, summer through,

I read his home-made sign aloud: “I guarantee every seed in the store.
Pansy seeds a specialty.”
