FLORAL EMBLEMS. 221 



NEVER-CEASING REMEMBRANCE. 



Everlasting, or Cud-weed. — Gnaphalium. 



" Each lonely scene shall thee restore. 

 For thee the tear be duly shed ; 

 Belov'd, till life can charm no more. 

 And mourn'd, till pity's self be dead.'* 



We have devised this emblem for the ever- 

 lasting flower, both from its name and its fre- 

 quent use on the continent, in decorating' the 

 monuments and graves of departed friends. 



" To fair Fidele's grassy tomb, 



Soft maids and village hinds shall bring. 

 Each opening sweet of earliest bloom. 

 And rifle all the breathing spring." 



Collins.
