and praise which she would teach our hearts to 
sing. 
The editor of Withering’s Botany says that this 
flower is the true Harebell of Scotland, sometimes 
termed also the Heath-bell; whilst the wild Hya- 
cinth is her famed “ Bluebell.” Sir Walter Scott, 
however, does not bear him out in this assertion; 
for he appropriâtes both naraes to the Campanula. 
In his “Lady of the Lake,” he strews it in Ellen’s 
pathway as the Harebell. 
“ For me she stooped, and looking round 
Plucked a blue Harebell from the ground ; 
For me, whose memory scarce conveys 
An image of more splendid days, 
This little flower, that loves the lea, 
May well my simple emblem be.” 
And in another of his poems he ternis it the 
“ Bluebell” 
“ When Summer smiled on sweet Bow-hill, 
And July’s eve with balmy breath 
Waved the Bluebell on Newark heath. 
And flourished broad Blackandro’s oak, 
The aged harper’s soûl awoke.”
