Venus’s Flytrap. 
* * * * • So sensitive, 
It catches each rover that doth touch its leaves. 
HAVE I CAUGHT YOU AT LAST? 
Have I caught you at last ? I ’ve been trying 
For many and many a day; 
And indeed I have almost been dying 
For fear that you’d answer me — “ Nay.” 
Have I caught you at last ? now do tell me, 
For I never shall love you less; 
For the thoughts that to love thee, impel me. 
Since you heartily answered me — “ Yes.” 
John S. Adams.
