74 THE FLOWER VASE. 
Houstonia certilea. Class 4. — Order 1. 
Venus’ Pride. 
A small, delicate spring-flower. White or pale blue. 
Quiet Happiness. 
Come to our cottage, love. How sweetly there 
The rose-trees bloom ! How the soft scented air 
Plays round its shaded trellises, and floats 
Through our own quiet rooms The woodlark’s 
notes, 
The sweetest in the choir of earth, awake 
Our happy spirits to the day, and make 
Our morning hymn of praise. The mellow beams 
Of the rich sun shine gently on the streams 
That murmur there ; and thy purd, faithful love 
Smiles on me ever!
