22 FLORA I INTERPRETER. 



AWEMONE. (Wind-flower.) Clou 18. 



Anemone. Firginiana. ** f^ffi^ 



ica. The flowers of the 

 Anemone are of various 

 colors white, blue, purple, 

 yellow, crimson, etc. 



ANTICIPATION. 



Beside a fading bank of snow, 

 A lovely Anemone blew, 

 Unfolding to the sun's bright glow 

 Its leaves of heaven's serenest hue: 

 T is Spring, I cried; pale Winter's fled; 

 The earliest wreath of flowers is blown; 

 The blossoms, withered long and dead, 

 Will soon proclaim their tyrant flown. 



Pereival. 



SENTIMENT. 



Alas! that dreams are only dreams, 



That fancy cannot give 

 A lasting beauty to those forms 



Which scarce a moment live. 



Alas! that youth's fond hopes should fade, 



And love be but a name, 

 While its rainbows, followed e'er so fast, 



Are distant still the same. 



ANNS,
