FLORAL SYMBOLS. 109 



In clefts o' the rock, and cloth'd green knolls with grass 

 And clover, and sweet herbs, and honey-dews, 

 Shed in the starlight bells, where the brown bees ■ 

 Draw sweets ; — who fill'd the summer bush with birds 

 That sing the live-long day ; — that poured cool streams 

 To murmur 'neath dark willows ; — fills the air 

 With odorous breaths and pulsing music, like 

 The breath of June. 



Athanaae, by E. F. Roberts.
