Signification . . . Little. 
Emblem Thyme. 
Sentiment Less lovely than some, but more 
estimable. 
Time can never mar thy beauty, 
For *t is not of outward form ; 
'Tis the loveliness of spirit. 
And of heart so pure and warm. 
On such Old Time lays not his hand. 
It blooms as fresh in a better land. 
None' but those who love thee best, 
Can half thy goodness know, 
The virtues sweet which in thee dwell, 
And in thy bosom glow ; 
They may unlock those secret cells, 
Who Ve known thee long, and loved thee well.
