APOLLO AND HYACINTHUS

" What shall I do ? I cannot bring you back 

 to life. 



" But you shall live in the form of a beautiful 

 flower. And every one that sees you shall re- 

 member how much I loved you." 



And as he spoke, there grew out of the 

 very spot where the boy had fallen, a lovely 

 Hyacinth. 



Do you know the Hyacinth when you see it ? 

 Does it not smell sweet ?
