74 FLORA'S INTERPRETER. 



GERANIUM, IVY. 

 P. Peltatum. 



BRIDAL FAVOR. 



SENTIMENT. 



I saw two clouds at morning 



Tinged with the rising sun, 

 And in the dawn they floated on, 



And mingled into one: 

 I thought that morning cloud was blest, 



It moved so sweetly to the west. 



I saw two summer currents 



Flow smoothly to their meeting, 

 And join their course with silent force, 



In peace each other greeting. 

 Calm was their course tlinmirti banks of green, 



While dimpling eddies played between. 



Such be your gentle motion, 



Till life's last pulse shall heat; 

 Like summer's beam and summer's stream, 



Float on in joy to meet 

 A calmer sea, where storms shall cease 



A purer sky, where all is peace.
