FLORA'S LEXICON 



ADWORT, ROCK. Asperugo. Class 5, 

 Pentandria. Order: Monogyma. This 

 plant was esteemed by the ancients on ac- 

 count of its supposed power to allay anger. 

 The species generally are showy plants, and ' 

 of easy culture. The rock madwort is very 

 ornamental early in the season. 



TRANQUILLITY. 



Wilt thou go far away from this dark world with me, 

 To an isle of our own, in a warm sunny sea, 

 Where summer lives on, in a soft genial clime, 

 And breathes the rich fragrance of orange and lime ? 



Wilt thou go with me, love! where the halcyon hours 

 Are noiseless as angels, that move among flowers, 

 Where care may not come to disturb our repose, 

 As the calm tide of pleasure unsulliedly flows 1 ■ 



The music that comes on the citron-gale's wing 

 Shall wake thee at morn, and new happiness bring, 

 And evening shall find thee, with innocence gay, 

 Living over in dreams all the joys of the day. 



The bark is unmoor'd that shall bear us away, 

 And the fresh-blowing breeze only chides our delay; 

 Then haste, ere the summer of youth has gono by, 

 To our island of love with its warm sunny sky ! 



Dawes. 



All is gentle: nought 

 Stirs rudely; but congenial with the night, 

 Whatever walks is gliding like a spirit.
