THE GEOGRAPHY OF PLANTS, 



" The spot becomes a Paradise, 

 The whole world blossoms here." 



GOTHE. 



' In Rome upon Palm Sunday . 

 They bear true Palms, 

 The Cardinals bow reverently, 

 And sing old Psalms ; 

 Elsewhere, those Psalms are sung 

 'Mid Olive branches. 

 The Holly bough supplies their place 

 Among the avalanches ; 

 More northern climes must be content 

 With the sad Willow." 



GOTHE.
