Poplar (Black) __ Courage. 
Commanding, aiding, animating all, 
Where foe appear'd to press, or friend to fall. 
f YRON. 
True valour 
Lies in the mind, the never-yielding purpose. 
Nor owns the blind award of giddy fortune.

Poplar (White) . Time . 
Desire not to live long, but to live well; 
How long we live, not years, but actions tell. 
y/ATKYNS. 
Touch us gently, Time! 
Let us glide down thy stream 
Gently—as we sometimes glide 
Through a quiet dream.

Poppy (White) 
Sleep. 
O magic sleep! O comfortable bird! 
That broodest o’er the troubled sea of the mind 
Till it is hush’d and smooth. O unconfined 
Restraint! imprison’d liberty ! great key 
To golden palaces—ay, all the world 
Of silvery enchantment! 
JCeats.
