White Violets

Do I like white violets the best? 
 I think so. 
Then I wonder if it is because they are
more rare than the violet violets;
and would I like the violet violets better if all
I ever saw were white violets everywhere
and then not a violet one to be seen anywhere?
I think I would become bored with the white ones.
 Ah, but look, there are the children
who are a little of each--
no, these are the loveliest of all.
The children are always the ones
That bring a spark to the eye
and calm to the heart.
