GERMANDER SPEEDWELL. 



(VEKONICA CHAMAEDEYS.) 



"For here we have no continuing city, but we seek one to come." 



Hebrews xiii. 14. 



" What says that flower with eye as blue 

 As is the azure's deepest hue ? 

 How calm, yet earnest is her look 

 On grassy bank, by rippling brook !" 



Tarry, brother, on thy way ; 

 Listen, — this her cheering lay. 



" Speedwell, pilgrim, to thy home, 

 Never from the straight path roam ; 

 There be all thy treasures plac'd 

 Where nor moth nor rust can waste *. 



" What though fi-ail and prone to err ! 

 Trust thy great Deliverer : 

 He wiU grace and strength impart 

 To the earnest stedfast heart. 



^ St. Matt. vi. 20.
