POETRY OF FLOWERS. 103 
GOLDEN EOD. 
Solidago sjjeciosa . . . Class 19; Order 2. 
Flowers bright yellow, and very sliowy. 
ENCOURAGEMENT. 
I will not chide thy love, 
Nor crush its budding flower; 
But it must look above 
For fostering sun and shower. 
May be, when months are o’er, 
This heart may be all thine: 
Oh, wouldst thou ask for more 
From lips reserved as mine ? 
GRASS. 
Gramina . Class 3 ; Order 2. 
There are more than three hundred species of Grass, 
constituting about a sixth part of all the vegetables 
of the world. Some have very pretty flowers. 
SUBMISSION. 
I AM resigned. lYhate’er my fate may be,— 
Or storms, or sunshine, to thy will I bow; 
And be the fruit that hangs on life’s green tree 
Or sweet, or bitter, it is welcome now. 
All things are equal to the heart that bears 
A faith unblenching through earth’s thousand snares.
