FLORAS INTERPRETER. 119 



LOCUST. (Green leaved.) Clast 17. Order 10. 



North American species and there 

 is one in India, and one in China. 



AFFECTION BEYOND THE GRAVE. 



Tho fresh boughs of the Locust tree 

 Do image forth his memory in my heart. 



Mon tfy. 



SENTIMENT. 



We send these fond endearments o'er the grave; 

 Heaven would be hell if loved ones were not there, 

 And any spot a heaven, if we could save 

 From every stain of earth, and thither bear 

 The hearts that are to us our hope and care, 

 The soil whereon our purest pleasures grow: 

 Around the quiet hearth we often share, 

 From the quick change of thought, the tender flow 

 Of fondness waked by smiles, the world wo love below. 



Percival. 



ANSWER. 



Weep not for those 

 Who sink within the arms of death 

 Ere yet the chilling wintry breath 



Of sorrow o'er them blows; 

 But weep for them who here remain, 

 The mournful heritors of pain, 

 Condemned to see each bright joy fade, 

 And mark grief's melancholy shade 



Flung o'er Hope's fairest rose. 



Mr*. Embury.
