ST. JOHN'S WORT FAMILY. ill 



Though art with nature may contest, 



Yet is the hand of God confest, 



In humblest bloom that paints the heath, 



Or lurks the woodland shades beneath. 



If Beauty, then, can charm thy heart, 



And high, and holy thoughts impart, 



'Tis not in vain that heath and bower, 



Display the small St. John's Wort Flower."
