CANADIAN HAKEBELL. 



Campanula Rotanth'folia. 



" With drooping bells, of purest blue 

 Thou didst attract uiy cliiklish view, 



Almost resenibliivj: 

 Tlie azure butterflies that flow. 

 AVhere luid the heath thy blossouis grew, 



So litihtlv trombliu<z:." 



'^^"^IHE same charming writer has also called the Harebell " the 

 Flower of Memory." and truly the sigiit of these fair 

 flowers, when foimd in lonely spots in Canada, has ca-ried 

 one back in thonght to the vild heathery moors or 



sylvan lanes of the mother country. 



"I think uj)on the heathery liiKi 



I ae hae lo'ed sae dearly ; . 



I think upon (lie \vinii)liiig burn 

 That wandered by sae clearly 



r r) 



But sylvan wooded lanes, and heathery moorlands are not 

 characters of our ^'anadiin scenery, and if we would seek the Hare- 

 bell, we shall i^tm it un the dry gravellv b.mks of lakes or rivers, or 

 rocky islets, for these are its native haunts. :
