GLOBE-FLOWER. 



Praised be the mosses soft, 



In earth's pathway very oft ; 



And the thorns which make us think, 



Of the thornless river brink, 



Where the heavenly tread ! 

 Praised be thy sunny gleams, 

 And the storm that worketh dreams 



Of calm unfinished. 



Elizabeth B. Barrett. 



TroUius Europmtis. Globe-flower, or Gowlans. 



The name given bj' Gesner, who thus Latinized the German 

 word trol, spherical ; descriptive of the globular form of the 

 flower. 



In its wild state 

 Opening Closing 



At sunrise. When the sun 



withdraws his beams.
