Arum Ethiopicum. . . Class 20; Order 13, 
This is a native of Ethiopia, and is much es¬ 
teemed for its beautiful snow-white calyx, 
broad, green leaves, and pheasant perfume. 
MODESTY.—MAGNIFICENT BEAUTY. 
The blue bell by the meadow rill 
Is not more fair than thou, 
With thy downcast and thoughtful eye, 
Thy pure and gentle brow. 
All sweet and holy dreams seem blent 
Within tby maiden heart; 
How delicate in every look, 
In every thought thou art! 
The blush so frequent on thy cheek, 
Thy meek and quiet air, 
Thy low and gentle accents,—all 
Thy purity declare.
