Significations : —Concealed Feelings — Contentment — Heartless Beauty — ‘ Woman's 
Heart,' * Trust and Love.' 
Autumnal Blossoms ! drooping, scentless, pale, 
I watch you oft in evening’s silent hour, 
When trembling, shrinking from the chilling gale 
Which sweeps above the leafless summer bower, 
Sighing a requiem o’er its beauties dead ; 
Ye seem lamenting, bowing each crushed head, 
As this sad Motherwort , with noble pride, 
4 The heart’s deep feelings from the world would hide.
