Many flowers are admirable barometers, among which per- 

 haps the Scarlet Pimpernal takes the lead. It is certain in its in- 

 dications, as the petals close at once on the approach of moisture ; 

 also, the awns of Barley. 



See hieracium's various tribe 



Of plumy seed and radiate flowers, 

 The blooms of time their course describe, 



And wake and sleep appointed hours. 



Broad o'er its imbricated cup 



The goatsbeard spreads its golden rays, 



But shuts its cautious petals up, 

 Retreating from the noontide blaze. 



Pale as a pensive cloistered nun, 



The Bothlchnn-stor her lace unveils, 

 When o'er the mountain peers the sun, 



But shades it from the vesper gales.
