POETRY OF FLOWERS. 
S3 
CHAMOMILE . 
Anthemis nobilis . . . Class 18; Order 2. 
This plant has a white or yellow flower, and is much 
loved for its fragrance : herbaceous. 
ENERGY IN ADVERSITY. 
Onward ! Hath earth’s ceaseless change 
Trampled on thy heart ? 
Faint not, for that restless range 
Soon will heal the smart. 
Trust the future—time will prove 
Earth hath stronger, truer love. 
* -x- * -x- * -x- * 
Bless thy God, the heart is not 
An abandoned urn, 
Where, all lonely and forgot, 
Dust and ashes mourn; 
Bless Him, that his mercy brings 
Joy from out its withered things. 
Mrs. Case. 
Like the meek chamomile, it grew 
Luxuriant from the bruise anew. 
Eastburne.
