42 VOICE OF FLOWERS. 



KING FROST, AND THE 

 GARDEN BEAUTIES. 



THE Dahlia calPd to the Mignionette, 

 And what do you think she said ? 



&quot; King Frost has been seen in the vale below,&quot; 

 And she trembled and shook with dread. 



&quot; King Frost has been seen in the vale below, 



A marshalling forth his train 

 Captain Gladiolus told me so, 



And brandish d his sword in vain.&quot; 



Then the Snow-Berry knock d at the Wood 

 bine s bower, 



Affrighted, and out of breath : 

 &quot; Pray, give me a draught of water,&quot; said she; 



&quot; I am growing as pale as death.&quot; 



&quot;Ah me !&quot; the gay Carnation cried, 



&quot; The Rose, on her dying day, 

 Bade me prepare for this solemn hour, 



But I ve trifled my time away.&quot;
