Friendship, like Ivy , will be the knot, 
Canterbury-bell , shall constant be, 
Then be it so, says Forget-me-not , 
Amen 1 says the Everlasting Fea. Go. 
BLUE BELL...CONSTANCY. 
Look at the beautifnl Blue-hell, 
And the Everlasting Pea;— 
The duration of my love they tell, 
Dear one, to thee t 
My love is not a sudden pang; 
Long has it lived within my heart; 
And there ’tis firmly fix’d, my love; 
’Twill not depart 1 
I love the blue Forget-me-not; 
Go, look on that lovely flower; 
It says, thou in my heart shalt live 
While life has power! 
As days and months go gliding by, 
I love thee more than ever, love; 
All other things are mean to thee, 
My sweetest dove. 
Thus I confess with heart sincere— 
Believe me, love, and never fear. 
Gu.
