168 CANADIAN HORTICULTURIST. 



Coxcombs too ! we have a score 

 Very cheap ! they're such a bore. 

 Bachelor Buttons, by the gross, 

 And oh, such green inviting Moss ! 



Pine needles too, for sewing leaves 

 Just the same as mother Eve's, 

 They're also good for sewing Tares 

 Such as the Ragged Sailor wears. 



Here's Juniper, from overhead 

 Where old Elijah wished him dead, 

 The Wandering Jew brought from afar. 

 On Thistle down's light aerial car ! 



And Sea-weed, from God's public highway, 

 Foxglove from dame nature's by-way ; 

 See the lovely Golden-rod 

 Pointing up to nature's God. 



And here's areen Shamrock, from Armagli, 

 Crush'd by the Saxon Lion's paw ! 



The clouds are cradling round the sun, 

 The Fairie's long day's work is done. 



Each takes her little spruce pine pillow. 

 And goes to rest beneath the willow ; 

 The lovely orphan ! Queen of night ! 

 Will shine o'er them, till morning light.
