THOUGHTS. 



YOU OCCUPY MY THOUGHTS; 



OR, 



PENSEZ A MOI. 

 PAN SEE, OR HEART'S EASE. Viola tricolor. 



" And there are pansies, that's for thoughts." 



Shakspeare. 



" And thou, so rich in gentle names, appealing 

 To hearts that own our nature's common lot ; 



Those, styl'd by sportive fancy's better feeling 



' A Thought,' * The Heart's Ease,' or ' Forget me not.' " 



Barton. 



Thoughts are not more numerous than the 

 varieties of this little sportive flower, since it 

 is difficult to find two alike, although we 

 generally see 



The garden's gem 



Heart's ease, like a gallant bold, 

 In his cloth of purple and gold." 



Leigh Hunt. 



In the flowers of the saints the pans^e is 

 dedicated to St. Euphrasia.
