THE FLOWER VASE. 
LOCUST. 
Robin a. Class 17.— Order 10. 
A veiy handsome ornamental tree or shrub. Blossoms 
white and fragrant 
Affection beyond the grave. 
What though the loving heart is wrung 
By chilling words of cold farewell? 
And o’er its dying hopes is flung 
Their echoing knell ? 
Shall we not meet in that bright land 
Where parting words are never spoken? 
And love is not a brittle band 
So lightly broken ? 
Shall we not all meet there to love, 
With love that has no trembling fears? 
In that dear home, far, far above 
This land of tears ?
