“BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS, WHOSE TENDER FORMS 
SURVIVE THE DEADLY LIGHTNING’S GLARE, 
AND BEND YOUR BOSOMS TO THE STORMS 
THAT RIDE UPON THE MIDNIGHT AIR : 
SAY, WERE YE ONLY BORN TO FADE ? 
OR WERE YOUR TINTS AND ODORS GIVEN 
TO GRANT THE SPIRIT, IN THE SHADE 
OF THIS DULL WORLD, SOME GLIMPSE OF HEAVEN ? ”
