OR, LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS. 189 
A fuschia red, “love’s proper hue”— 
A maiden’s blush—a mouse-ear blue, 
Together I entwine 
A heart’s-ease too we must not miss— 
A dahlia white, which whispers this, 
“ For ever I am thino!” 
May no syringa ever shed 
Its baleful influence o’er your head, 
For pain or for regret: 
May amaranth for ever glow, 
And guard you whereso’er you go; 
So prays your Mignonette. 
Eufhemia.

CELANDINE. 
Sentiment—Joys to come. 
Pretty little golden thing, 
Blooming in the early spring ; 
Be thou an emblem true to me, 
Joys to come, O may I see ! 
Blooming where the sunbeams shine, 
Fairy little Celandine, 
Thou inspirest hope in me, 
That future joys I may seel
