THE FLOWER VASE. 89 
LILAC. 
Syringa. Class 2. — Order 1. 
Too well known to need description. Flowers purple, 
and white. 
First Emotion of Love. 
How sweet and rapturous’t is to feel 
Ourselves exalted in a lovely soul,— 
To know our joys make glow another’s cheek, 
Our fears do tremble in another’s heart, 
Our sufferings bedew another’s eye! 
Schiller. 
As the little floweret hideth 
By the woodland stream, 
So in youthful hearts abideth 
Love’s first witching dream. 
Miss J. A. Fletcher.
