Its from the opera Pierro e Demetrio (Pyyrus and Demetrius)
The character singing this aria is a youth named Mario. He is alone in a
garden thinking about his love for a woman who is nobly born. A rough idea
of the song's meaning is: Are these violets a message for me? Do I have too
much ambition? Am I aiming too high in loving such a wonderful woman?
This info is from John Glen Paton's edition of Italian songs and arias.
I hope this helps.
