FLORA AXD THALIA. 



TO THE JASMINE. 



Ojr gentle gales the grateful twilight came ; 

 Dimpling the shining lakes, the fragrant breeze 

 Sighs o'er the lawns, and wliispers thro' the trees. 

 Refreshed, the lily rears its silver head, 

 And opening Jasmines o'er the arbour spread. 



CAMOEXS. 



*TwAS midnight — through the lattice wreathed 



With woodbine, many a perfume breathed 



From plants that wake when others sleep ; 



From timid Jasmine-buds that keep 



Their odour to themselves all day : 



But when the sunlight dies away. 



L^ ^be delicious secret out 



To everv breeze that roams about.
