g6 THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS. 
Expressive is the German name our fa- 
vourite has obtain'd, 
The “ \\atcher of the Wayside ” is the title 
it has gain’d; 
And beautiful to us appears the mission 't 
fulfils, 
And hallow’d are the teachings which it 
silently instils 
In hearts that sometimes droop and sifh 
because of Life’s stern ills, 
While traversing our toilsome path, far 
from our home and rest. 
By varied roughnesses and cares sore bur- 
'den’d and depress’d. 
How often on our aching sight some cheer¬ 
ing promise beams. 
Or some unlook’d-for favour in the waste 
around us gleams! 
And in a moment, oh, how changed the 
road before us seems !
