BUTTERCUP, ANEMONE, AND CLEMATIS FAMILY 



163 



Fig. 46. Clematis indivisa Staminate flowers ( nat. size). 



Meek clematis, tree dweller, child of dew, 

 Nursling of light and air ! 

 Slow trailing stars, or showers of misty suns, 

 Whence is the hand thou readiest wistfully 

 Feeling, on earth, for something not of earth? 



JOHANNES ANDERSEN.
