190 FLORA'S INTERPRETER. 



ROSE, CAMPION. (Corn-Cockle.) Clan 10. 



in cornfields. 



LOVE'S MESSENGERS. 



Yonder is a girl, who lingers 

 Where wild honeysuckle grows, 

 Mingled with the brier Rose. 



H. Smith. 



SENTIMENT. 



Do you like letter-reading ? If you do, 



I have some twenty dozen very pretty ones: 



Gay, sober, rapturous, solemn, very true, 

 And very lying stupid ones, and witty ones; 



On gilt-edged paper, blue perhaps, or pink, 



And frequently in fancy-colored ink. 



And then the seals a silver crescent moon, 

 With half a line of melting French or Latin ; 



The flower which has an eye as bright as noon, 

 And leaf as delicate as softest satin, 



Called the 'Forget-me-not,' but known as well 



By twenty names I cannot stop to tell. 



A leaf with half a dozen words, that mean 

 ' I only change in death ; ' a gentle dove, 



With an Italian motto. You have seen 

 Fifty such, if you 've ever been in love, 



And had occasion to write billet-doux, 



Or had them written in return to you.
