ILLUSTRATION OF THE PLATE. 
Pyrus Japonica. 
Fairies’ Fire. 
They say that the Fairies have beaming eyes, 
And they light them at Love’s own shrine, 
But I know not if aught below the skies, 
Can match with those eyes of thine. 
And I think thou hast stolen the Fairies fire, 
To give them their changing light, 
And lovers below may in vain aspire, 
To a being so wildly bright. 
Float not away in thy brilliant guise, 
For we fear thou ’rt in truth a ranger, 
And gaze not so fondly on yonder skies, 
Lest thou take to thee wings, bright stranger. 
L H.
