Crowfoot. 
we call those llowrets 
Lustre, 
“ Fair maids of France/’ we call those flow

That shed a lustre o’er the trim parterre; 
Let English maids, with eyes of lustrous light, 
These alpine blossoms in their bosoms wear. 
Horse Chestnut. 
Luxuriancy, 
(.lad with blossoms white and fair,- 
Blossoms that perfume the air; 
Spreading wide, and towering high 
Emblem of luxuriancy. 
Crown Imperial 
Majesty, 
The Persian flower that towers above the rest. 
And weareth on its head a golden crown.

Of proud, imperial majesty, methinks. 
Orange Blossom 
Marriage, 
“ Only the bride hath leave to wear 
The orange blossom in her hair."

Mossy Saxifrage. 
The mossy Saxifrage that clothes the wild 
And naked rocks, and wraps them, as a child 
Within her loving arms the mother folds, 
When whistle the fierce winds across the wolds.
