" The scarlet pimpernel creeps here and there. 



Amid the corn the crimson poppies blush, 

 Still on the brooks gleam water-lilies rare, 



And purple loosestrife, and the flowering rush 

 Still honeysuckle blooms perfume the gale 



Where bryony-leaves adorn the hedgerows green, 

 Where peep the scabious and the campion pale, 



With trumpet-like convolvulus between ; 

 The blue campanula, and chickory wild, 



And yellow toadflax variegate the plain, 

 And with a thankful heart and sense beguiled 



We look upon the fields of ripening grain." 



longer can we point to field and "hedgerow 

 crowned with 



' : One boundless blush, one white empurpled shower 

 Of mingled blossoms."
