BUTTERCUP, ANEMONE, AND CLEMATIS FAMILY 163 



Fig. 46. Clematis indivisa— Staminate flowers (i nat. size 



Meek clematis, tree dweller, child of dew. 

 Nursling of light and air ! 

 Slow traihng stars, or showers of misty suns, 

 Whence is the hand thou reachest wistfuUy 

 Feeling, on earth, for something not of earth ?
