108 LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS. 
call the woodbine, trained against our English 
cottages, at once delights the eye and gratifies the 
smell by the exquisite fragrance of its blossom ; 
whilst it confers on those humble dwellings a cha- 
racter of cheerfulness unknown in other countries. 
A Honeysuckle, on the sunny side, 
Hung around the lattices its fragrant trumpets. 
Landon. 
Copious of flowers, the woodbine pale and wan 
But well compensating her sickly looks 
With never cloying odours, early and late. 
Cowper. 
It begins to flower in May, and continues to put 
forth its blossoms till the end of summer.
