The Pansy. The Chim-pansy.

Robert Williams Wood

Observe how Nature's necromancies Have clearly painted on the Pansies, These almost human counten-ances, In yellow, blue and black nu-ances.

The face however seems to me To be that of the Chim-pan-zee: A fact that makes the gentle Pansy, Appeal no longer to my fancy.
