32 Brighter shone the golden shadows;
 * On the cool wind softly came

The low, sweet tones of happy flowers,
 * Singing little Violet's name.

'Mong the green trees was it whispered,
 * And the bright waves bore it on

To the lonely forest flowers,
 * Where the glad news had not gone.

Thus the Frost-King lost his kingdom,
 * And his power to harm and blight.

Violet conquered, and his cold heart
 * Warmed with music, love, and light;

And his fair home, once so dreary,
 * Gay with lovely Elves and flowers,

Brought a joy that never faded
 * Through the long bright summer hours.

Thus, by Violet's magic power,
 * All dark shadows passed away,

And o'er the home of happy flowers
 * The golden light for ever lay.

Thus the Fairy mission ended,
 * And all Flower-Land was taught

The "Power of Love," by gentle deeds
 * That little Violet wrought.

As Sunny Lock ceased, another little Elf came forward; and this was the tale "Silver Wing" told.
