BOUQUET No. 2. 
BOUQUET FOK FEBRUARY, COMPOSED OF THE CAMELLIA JAPONICA - ARBOR- 
YIT2E - LAURISTIUUS - AND AMERICAN COWSLIP. 
Significations : — My Destiny is in your hands — Live for me — I die if neglected — You are 
my divinity. 
Few are the Flowers by Nature given, 
This early month to bless; 
But those she sends, like boons from Heaven, 
Excel in loveliness! 
The fair Camellia lifts its head, 
In modest grace arrayed; 
While the soft perfume round it shed 
Forewarns the gentle maid, 
That he who gives it to her care, 
And close beside her stands, 
Would softly whisper in her ear, 
‘My fate is in thy hands!’
