WOODBINE. 
Lonicera Periclymenon. 
Language FRATERNAL LOVE. 
Little fairy, 
Light and airy, 
Gladsome, blithesome little creature, 
Ever cheerful, 
Never tearful, 
^ Sweetness beams in every feature ; 
In thy face not a trace 
Can be seen of aught like sorrow ; 
Never sad, always glad. 
As to-day art thou to-morrow. 
Happy ever. 
Sorrow never 
Comes to thee, thou flower rarest, 
If but lightly. 
Then less brightly 
Would the smile be which thou wearest ; 
Thus to thee may life be ; 
May kind fortune e'er caress thee ; 
Peace be thine, sister mine 
God above, I pray, will bless thee ! 
James H. Beottn.
