" Flower of the solitary place, 



Grey ruin's golden crown. 

 That Jendest melancholy grace 



To haunts of old renown : 

 That inantlest o'er the battlement, 



By strife or storm decay'd, 

 And fillest up each envious rent. 



Time's canker-tooth hath made. 



" Sweet Wallflower, sweet Wallflower, 



Thou conjurest up to me, 

 Full many a soft and sunny honr. 



Of boyhood's thoughtless glee. 

 When joy from out the Daisies grew, 



In woodland pastures green, 

 And Summer skies were far more blue. 



Than since they e'er have been. 



" Rich is the Pink the Lily gay, 



The Rose is Summer's guest. 

 Rland are thy charms when these decay, 



Of flowers first, last, and best. 

 There may be gaudier in the bower, 



And statelier on the tree. 

 But Wallflower, loved Wallflower. 



Thou art the flower for me." Moir.

 shape, entire, clasping the stem, which is branched. It is 

 often cultivated for the sake of the seeds, from which a large 

 quantity of a valuable oil is pressed, known by the name of 

 rape oil, and applied to a variety of purposes, while what re- 

 mains after the oil has been expressed affords a useful and 

 fattening food for cattle.
