THE FLOWER VA.SE. 
WOODBINE. 
Lonicera. Class 5. — Order 1. 
There are many species of the Woodbine, all of which 
are luxuriant and beautiful. 
Fraternal Love. 
I think of thee, my sister, 
In my sad and lonely hours, 
And the thought of thee comes o’er me 
Like the breath of morning flowers. 
Like music that enchants the ear, 
Like sights that bless the eye, 
Like the verdure of the meadow, 
The azure of the sky; 
Like rainbow in the evening, 
Like blossom on the tree, 
Is the thought of thee, dear sister, 
Is the tender thought of thee! 
John Kenton.
