THE FLOWEE VASE. 
WILLOW. 
Salix. Class 21.— Order 2. 
There are many species of the Willow, most of which 
hare beautiful, tassel-like blossoms, very odorous. 
Forsaken. 
I had a heart! I had a heart! 
>T was a gay and a happy thing; 
And it danced about in my youthful breast 
Like a lamb in the flowery spring; 
But now it lies like a slaughtered lamb, 
Its life-blood trickling out; 
’T is a faithless heart to believe him false — 
I told him it should not doubt! — 
Doubt, doubt, doubt! 
Oh, days pass'bn, long, weary days, 
But they bring no end to doubt!
