THE FLOWER VASE. 
GOLDEN ROD. 
Solidago. Class 19. — Order 2. 
A North American genus. Flowers bright yellow, and 
very showy. 
Encouragement. 
I will not chide thy love, 
Nor crush its budding flower; 
But it must look above, 
For fostering sun and shower. 
May be, when months are o’er, 
This heart may be all thine; 
Oh, wouldst thou ask for more 
From lips reserved as mine ?
