CHAPTER XXI. 
ULEX— HTJMiriTT. 
U 
TJlex ! that dost crown with gold 
All the wild and breezy heath, 
Forming many a gorgeous wreath 
Fragrant with thy odorous breath. 
Be my emblem—bright and bold. 
Happy in an humble station. 
Lending smiles to desolation; 
Blooming gaily, though so lowly. 
Raising aspirations holy; 
Thorny spines surrounding thee. 
Yet kindly sheltering bird and bee: 
Lustre and joy diffusing round 
O’er the rough and desert ground: 
Firm and useful, cheerful, free,— 
Let me then resemble thee. Anoir,
