FLORA'S INTERPRETER 57 



DEW PLANT. (Fig. Marygold.) Clan 12. Or- 



pie; it differs from the Ice-plant 

 in having less of the frosted ap- 

 pearance. 



SERENADE. 



And winking Mary-buds begin 

 To ope their golden eyes: 

 With every pretty thing that bin, 

 My lady sweet, arise! 

 Arise, arise! 



Shaktptart. 



SENTIMENT. 



Innocent dreams be thine! thy heart sends up 

 Its thoughts of purity , like pearly hells, 

 Rising in crystal fountains. Would I were 

 A sound, that I might steal upon thy dreams, 

 And, like the breathing of my llute, distil 

 Sweetly upon thy senses. 

 * * 



The night above thee broodeth, 



1 lushed and deep; 

 But no dark thought intrudeth 



On the sleep 



Which folds thy senses now: 

 Gentle spirits float around thee, 

 Gentle rest hath softly bound thee, 



For pure art thou. 



Willit.
