Yon will canse 
my Death, 
Hemlock 
Like the fell plant whose deadly juice 
Of Socrates the pulses stilled. 
If thou, oh maid, my suit refuse. 
By thy disdain my hope is killed. 
Elder 
Zealousness, 
The Elder with its curly leaf 
And purple berries, stands for zeal. 
Its services, nor few nor brief. 
Are ever proffered for man’s weal. 
Lemon 
Zest, 
Lemon, the last but not the least. 
Which giveth a zest to the feast; 
May our book give a zest to the hour 
Of innocent mirth, and each flower 
A moral and meaning convey 
To instruct and to gladden for aye.
