F.A.Q. - A Violet From Mother's Grave lyrics

...but while life does remain in memoriam, i'll retain, this small violet i pluck'd from mother's grave. only a violet i pluck'd when but a boy, and oft'times when i'm sad at heart this flower has giv'n me joy; so while life does remain in memoriam i'll retain, this small violet i puck'd from mother's grave.
