LOVE’S TOKEN-FLOWERS. 
DOUBLE-FLOWERING CHERRY.— 
Cerastjs. 
Spiritual Beauty. 
There is a form that visits me in dreams— 
A form of delicate and maiden grace, 
And o’er my slumbers bends a gentle face, 
Where the soul’s speaking brightness ever 
beams: 
’Tis not a face of beauty, yet sweet gleams 
Of pure and holy thought are in her eyes, 
And her lip wears a smile that ever seems 
To light the circling air like sunset skies. 
Alas ! ’tis but in dreams she comes ; no more 
That gentle friend shall bless my waking 
sight, 
Until life’s changeful April day is o’er, 
And mine eyes close in Death’s untroubled 
night: 
Then may I hope my lost one’s face to see, 
And share in happier worlds her immortality.
