This flower derives its name from the circumstance 
of its growing upon old walls, the casements and bat¬ 
tlements of ancient castles, and among the ruins of 
abbeys. The troubadors were accustomed to wearing 
a bouquet of Wall-flowers, as the emblem of an affection 
which is proof against time and the frowns of fortune. 
Adah. —Alas! thou sinnest now, my Cain; thy 
words 
Sound impious in mine ears. 
Cain .—Then leave me! 
Adah. —Never, 
Though thy God left thee! 
Byron. 
An emblem true thou art 
Of love’s enduring lustre given 
To cheer a lonely heart. 
Barton. 
Flower of the solitary place! 
Gray Ruin’s golden crown, 
That lendest melancholy grace 
To haunts of old renown; 
Thou mantlest o’er the battlements 
By strife or storm decayed; 
And fillest up each envious rent 
Time’s canker-tooth hath made. 
Moir.
