THE POETRY OF FLOWERS. 
PEA, EVERLASTING* 
(Wilt Thou go away?) 
One moment o’er my chequered path 
Thy smile hath shed its gladdening ray; 
A rainbow on a cloud of wrath— 
And wilt thou, also, go away? 
* * * * * 
Thou’rt going! Well, thou knowest 
What prayers arise for thee; 
And wheresoe’er thou goest, 
Bear gentle thoughts of me. 
PEA, SWEET.f 
(Departure.) 
Unnoticed fell the sere and yellow leaf, 
Unheeded swept the morning breezes by; 
The fading flowers awoke no throb of grief, 
There was no sadness in the wind’s low sisrh • 
Could gloom or sorrow cloud the dying year, 
When thou, the summer of my heart, wert near? 
One hour hath passed—and o’er the deep blue sky 
A dimness hangs, whose chill is in my heart; 
* Flowers purple, crimson, and white. 
t Very beautiful, and possessing much of the fragrance of the Pink. 
The flowers are variegated with blue, lilac, rose, white, &c.
