Violets for Your Furs
A Winter's Magic: Violets, Love, and the Melting Snow
Lyrics
It was winter
Setting the scene, indicating the time of year.
In Manhattan
Specific location where the events take place.
Falling snowflakes
Describing the weather condition - snowfall.
Filled the air
Expressing the atmosphere filled with falling snowflakes.
The streets
Streets covered in snow.
Were covered
Confirming the extent of snow coverage.
With a film of ice
Emphasizing the icy conditions of the streets.
But
Transition to a magical element impacting the environment.
A little simple magic
Referring to a magical influence previously heard about.
That I'd heard
Continuation of the mention of the magical impact.
About somewhere
Indicating knowledge of the magic's existence.
Changed the weather
Noting the immediate change in the weather due to magic.
All around
Highlighting the sudden alteration all around due to magic.
Just within a trice
Within a short period, the change took place.
You bought me
Reference to a gift received - violets for fur clothing.
Violets for my furs
Symbolic association of the violets with a change of season - spring.
And it was spring
Confirming the sense of springtime, albeit momentarily.
For a while, remember?
Reflecting on the temporary feeling of spring.
You bought me
Reiteration of the gift of violets and its effect.
Violets for my furs
Linking the violets to a specific month - April in December.
And there was April
Highlighting the juxtaposition of seasons - snow and flowers.
In that December
Observing the snowfall upon the flowers.
The snow
Describing the interaction between snow and flowers.
Drifted on the flowers
Depicting the melting of snow upon the flowers.
And melted where it lay
Comparing the appearance of snow on flowers to dew.
The snow looked like dew
Comparing the snow's appearance to dewdrops on blossoms.
On the blossoms
Conveying the scene's resemblance to a summer day.
As on a summer day
You bought me
Reiterating the impact of the violets on the season.
Violets for my furs
Associating a color - blue - with the wintry sky.
And there was blue
Describing the impact of the violets on the sky.
In the wintry sky
Linking the violets to a change in the sky's appearance.
You pinned
Act of affixing violets to the fur clothing.
The violets to my furs
Illustrating the impact of wearing violets in public.
And gave a lift
Highlighting the attention drawn due to the violets.
To the crowds passing by
Impact on passersby due to the violets.
You smiled at me
Recipient's reaction to the giver's gesture.
So sweetly
Describing the sweetness of the giver's smile.
Since
Transitioning to a subsequent thought.
Then one thought occurs
Contemplation on the development of a realization.
That we fell
Expressing a profound connection or falling in love.
In love completely
Attributing the moment of falling in love to the violets.
The day you bought me
Connecting the act of receiving violets to falling in love.
Violets for my furs
Reiteration of the pivotal role of the violets in the love story.
