Campanula Rotundifolia. 
“ With, drooping bells of purest blue 
Thou didst attract my childish view, 
Almost resembling 
The azure butterflies that flew 
Where ’mid the heath thy blossoms grew, 
So lightly trembling.” 
same charming writer has also called the Harebell “the 
Flower of Memory,” and truly the sight of these fair 
flowers, when found in lonely spots in Canada, has carried 
one back in thought to the wild heathery moors or 
sylvan lanes of the mother country. 
“ I think upon the heathery hills 
I ae hae lo’ed sae dearly; 
I think upon the wimpling bum 
That wandered by sae clearly.” 
But sylvan wooded lanes, and heathery moorlands are not 
characters of our Canadian scenery, and if we would seek the 
Harebell, we shall find it on the dry gravelly banks of lakes or 
rivers, or rocky islets, for these are its native haunts.
