3G PURPLE SANDWORT. 



never heard ; it affects pastures on the coast, 

 and grows in company with the sea sand- 

 wort, on the Shell-coast in the Isle of 

 Sheppy. 



How beautiful ! how beautiful ! to climb the tower- 

 ing height 



Of Hymalaya's a^vful brow, begirt with purest 

 light ! 



If mortal eye might dare to range a field so fair 

 and wide, 



From zones that skirt the mountain's base, to 

 Sinde's* flowing tide. 



How beautiful ! how beautiful ! the landscape wide 



and fair, 

 The high palmetto's graceful shade, the citrons 



rich and rare ; 

 The noble trees that girt the line, and reaching 



further still, 

 Proud Europe's stately forest trees, that sweep o'er 



dale and hill. 



* Indian name for the Indus.
