THE FLOWER VA.SE. 
133 
SNOW-BALL. 
Viburnum. Class 5. — Order 3. 
Flowers in round clusters—white. Berries scarlet. A 
tall, graceful shrub. 
Thoughts of Heaven. 
’T is good 
To be subdued at times ; the heart is wooed 
By these pure impulses to purer things. 
Cherish within your souls whatever brings 
Moments of sweet communion with high thought. 
Joy hath its ministries, but griefs are fraught 
With gentler blessings. Let them come, in soA 
And tender eloquence, and bear aloA 
Your faith on the white spirit-whjgs of prayer.
