Signification . . A Fountain. 
Emblem ...... White Periwinkle. 
Sentiment .... Pleasures of Memory. 
Mem’rt’s a fountain from which there springs 
Sweet visions of our youth, 
Of those loved ones whose hearts were filled 
With love and joy and truth. 
Sweet the remembrance of the past, 
Of friends and friendship's hours, 
Of lovely ones who 've passed away 
To the land of fadeless flowers. 
Sweet to recall their looks and tones, 
The songs they sung of yore, — 
The pleasant walks in shady groves, — 
The books of ancient lore : — 
Which oft our pleasant hours employed ; 
And converse sad or gay, 
Just as youth's spirit prompted us ; — 
Those hours have passed away ! 
Yet Mem’ry brings them back again, 
Those happy, youthful hours ! 
And fragrance sweet exhales therefrom, 
As oft from withered flowers.
