An ornamental tree. Blossoms white and fragrant 
AFFECTION BEYOND THE OKAVE. 
Haste! messenger to heaven, and bear 
These tidings to the souls we love; 
Tell them we have been faithful here, 
Since they left us to dwell above. 
Haste! tell them we do not forget, 
That we will remember ever; 
That when on earth our sun hath set, 
We shall meet no more to sever. 
That our love is that which liveth. 
When from earth, friends pass away; 
And the tear affection giveth, 
On the sorrowing, parting day; — 
Seals the bond by which we know, 
We shall meet, no more to part; 
And that, freed from care and woe, 
» Heart shall sweetly blend with heart. 
' ■ John S. Adams.
