138 THE FLOWER VASE. 
SUN-FLOWER. 
Helianthus. Class 19. — Order 3. 
This plant grows eight or ten feet high. Leaves and 
flowers very large. Flowers yellow, and turn with the snn. 
Smile on me still. 
The rose needs not the summer light, 
The bird needs not the sheltering tree, 
So much as I, in sorrow’s night, 
Need smiles from thee. 
Oh, never let thine eye grow cold, 
Thy cherished voice grow rude to me; 
But let thy lip, as oft of old, 
Still smile on me.
