Of columbines, in purple dressed Nod o'er the ground-bird's hidden nest. - William Cullen Bryant, To the Fringed Gentian Skirting the rocks at the forest edge With a running flame from ledge to ledge, Or swaying deeper in shadowy glooms, A smoldering fire in her dusky blooms; Bronzed and molded by wind and sun, Maddening, gladdening every one With a gypsy beauty full and fine,-- A health to the crimson columbine! - Elaine Goodale (Mrs. Charles A. Eastman), Columbine O columbine, open your folded wrapper, Where two twin turtle-doves dwell! O cuckoopint, toll me the purple clapper That hangs in your clear green bell! - Jean Ingelow, Songs of Seven--Seven Times One There's fennel for you, and columbines. There's rue for you, and here's some for me. - William Shakespeare, Hamlet Prince of Denmark (Ophelia at IV, v) I am that flower--That mint. That columbine. - William Shakespeare, Love's Labor's Lost (Armado & Dumaine & Longaville at V, ii)
