FLORAL EMBLEMS. 221 



NEVER-CEASING REMEMBRANCE. 



EVERLASTING, OR CUD-WEED. Gnaphalium. 



*' Each lonely scene shall thee restore, 



For thee the tear be duly shed ; 

 Belov'd, till life can charm no more, 

 And mourn'd, till pity's self be dead."' 



We have devised this emblem for the ever- 

 lasting flower, both from its name and its fre- 

 quent use on the continent, in decorating the 

 monuments and graves of departed friends. 



" To fair Fidele's grassy tomb, 



Soft maids and village hinds shall bring, 

 Each opening sweet of earliest bloom, 

 And rifle all the breathing spring." 



Collins.
