ONVOLVULUS, FIELD. Class 6, Pknt- 

 andria. Order: MoNOOTSLL This small 

 pink flower rejoices in as many titles as any 

 royal prince, for it is so common and so 

 troublesome, as to have made itself a name 

 in all rural vocabularies ; among others, it 

 is known as Weed-bind, Rope-weed, Bell- 

 bind, Bell-wind, With-wind, and Hedgebells. 



CAPTIVATION. 



Come from the dim woods, come from the sea, 

 Come to the meadows and laugh with me; 

 Great heavy trees are gloomy things, 

 And dismally ever old Neptune sings; 



Come to the meadows bright, 



Where, in the sunny light, 



Over the blades of grass 



Soft-winged zephyrs pass; 

 Come with me there. 



Come to the uplands high, 



Where the rich cornfields lie 

 Golden and rare. 



Come from the shady woods, 



Come from the roaring floods, 

 Come, where the meadows lie fragrant and fair ! 



TWAMLEY. 



We merry flowers are running 



The meadow mazes through; 

 And be the farmers e'er so cunning, 



We 're as cunning too ! 

 And many a time the Farmer vows 



He '11 banish us his land ; 

 And we still run up the Hawthorn bough, 



A merry and myriad band. 



TWAMLEY.
