Signification. . ... Chosen. 
Emblem Peach Blossom. 
Sentiment Here I fix my Choice. 
“ Here I fix my choice,” Electa, 
Here confess my love to thee ; 
Can I gain so rich a treasure 
As thy love would bring to me ? 
Though life’s path is strewn with roses, 
There, too, thorns spring wild and free ; 
' Yet I’ll walk this thorny pathway 
Bravely, — if thou’lt go with me. 
I will not tell thee all is radiant, 
For dark days will surely come ; 
But with mutual faith and kindness, 
Love will light the darkest home.
