    محمدرضا شفیعی کدکنی
    “در روزهای آخر اسفند
    کوچ بنفشه‌های مهاجر
    زيباست
    در نيم‌روز روشن اسفند
    وقتی بنفشه ها را از سايه های سرد
    در اطلس شميم بهاران
    با خاک و ريشه
    - ميهن سيارشان –
    از جعبه‌های کوچک و چوبی
    در گوشه‌ی خيابان می‌آورند
    جوی هزار زمزمه در من
    می‌جوشد:
    ای کاش
    ای کاش، آدمی وطنش را
    مثل بنفشه‌ها
    (در جعبه‌های خاک)
    يک روز می‌توانست
    هم‌راه خويشتن ببرد هر کجا که خواست
    در روشنای باران
    در آفتاب پاک”
    محمد رضا شفيعي كدكني
