FLORA’S DIAL. 65 
Jflat) 4. 
MYRTLE. — Heart-felt Love. 
Our love came as the early dew 
Comes unto drooping flowers; 
Dropping its first sweet freshness on 
Our life’s dull, lonely hours. 
As each pale bfossom lifts its head 
Revived with blessings nightly shed 
By summer breeze and dew, — 
Oh, thus our spirits rose beneath 
Love’s gentle dews and living breath, 
To drink of life anew! 
Mrs. R. S. Nichols. 
illag 5. 
OPHRYS. — Disgust. 
With lether eye 
And cheeks dry, 
And visage wan, 
Swart as tan; 
When others'are glad, 
He is sad, 
Frantick and mad; 
His tongue never still 
For to say yll. Skelton. 1490.
