LADIES’ NAMES. 73 
Signification . . Goddess of Flowers. 
Emblem Rose Geranium. 
Sentiment .... Many are lovley, but you exceed all. 
Exceeding beautiful thou art ; 
Hast thou a pure and truthful heart ? 
Lovely indeed thy form and face ; 
Has holy love in thy heart a place * 
Thou now dost reign Queen of the Flowers ; 
Thy days are spent in floral bowers ; 
But life’s Spring-time will soon be past, 
And Summer, Autumn, fly, too fast. 
Winter will come with frost and snow ; 
Storms will arise and rude winds blow ; 
Ah ! what shall shield thee from the blast ; 
Hast thou the beauty which e’er will last ? 
Beauty there is, which no storm can blight ; 
It will bloom undimmed through winter’s night. 
Then guard thou well thy heart’s sweet flowers, 
Till they bloom again in heavenly bowers.
