Signification . . A Gift, a Present. 
Emblem Mountain Ash. 
Sentiment .... A Talisman. 
Blossoms rich and rare, 
Bright with pearly dew, 
Bor you, my lady fair, 
I ’ve call’d for you ! 
Hopes ever fondly twine 
Round thee when I ’m afar, 
For thou dost ever shine, 
My constant star. 
Sweeter than the rose, 
The mem’ry of thy love; 
My heart with rapture glows 
Like that above . 
This gift, O fair one take! 
It doth my heart betray, 
And prize it for my sake 
When far away.
