THE HONEYSUCKLE. 
BY THE COUNTESS OF BLESSINQTON. 
See the honeysuckle twine 
Round this casement;—’tis a shrine 
Where the heart doth incense give, 
And the pure affections live 
In the mother’s gentle breast 
By her smiling infant press’d. 
Blessed shrine ! dear, blissful home ! 
Source whence happiness doth come ! 
Round by the cheerful hearth we meet 
All things beauteous—all thing sweet— 
Every solace of man’s^ life. 
Mother, daughter—sister—wife !
