TEXT-BOOK O? FLOWERS. 
Pine Tree 
Boldness, 
Aloft the hardy Pine-tree rears 
Its head, nor wind nor tempest fears. 
True boldness, thus, intent on right. 
Bends not, nor yields to wrongful might 
Honeysuckle. 
Bond of Love, 
The Woodbine, sweet with odorous flower, 
Like a fair bride with an ample dower, 
Clasping the elm in the bonds of love, 
Breathing its kisses around and above; 
Poet hath never beheld, in a dream, 
For his song a more lovely, appropriate theme 
Water Melon. 
Bulkiness, 
Bulky and round the Melon grows, 
Amid the arid waste ; 
And well the wandering Arab knows 
Its cool, refreshing taste. 
Buckbean 
Calmness 
Where the stream glides softly by 
Murmuring a lullaby, 
There Menyanthes loves to lie 
Calmly as a sleeping child. 
Madder. 
Calumny, 
An everlasting stain the Madder leaves 
Upon the purest cloth : so calumny 
Gives the most fair and spotless character 
A tinge, that lasts while memory endures.
