FLORAL EMBLEMS. 151 



FORGET ME NOT. 



Mouse-ear Scorpion Grass. — Myosotis Palustrls. 



*' Pour exprimer Tamour, ces fleurs semblent eclore ; 

 Leur langage est un mot — -mais il est plein d'appas ! 

 Dans la main des amans elles disent encor : 

 Aimez-moi, ne m'oubliez pas." 



Letti^es a Sophie. 



This plant so celebrated in German love- 

 song, under the emblem of '' Vergils mich 

 nichtj' has hence been made to signify " for- 

 get me not," by all the sonnet writers of 

 Europe. 



'* Where time, on sorrow's page of gloom 

 Has fixed its envious lot. 

 Or swept the record from the tomb. 

 It says — Forget-me-not."
