AND FLOWERS OF POETRY. 
ILLUSTRATION OF PLATE. 
Forget-me-not. — Cypress. — Pimpernel. 
(Forget me not, for, alas ! we may never meet again. 
One kiss for thy brow, love — 
One sigh to the past — 
One heart-echoed vow, love — 
The fondest and last!— 
For the true and warm-hearted 
In anguish must sever; 
It is o’er — we are parted, 
Henceforth and for ever! 
Yet as Night’s scented flower, 
Shunning Sunlight’s caresses, 
Gives the hallowed star-hour 
All the wealth it possesses, 
So to thee, in thy sadness, 
Through darkness and doubt, 
My soul all its madness 
Of love shall breathe out. 
And thou — wilt thou cherish 
My memory yet ? 
Yes, yes, though we perish, 
"VVe cannot forget! 
Ah! doomed, broken-hearted, 
In anguish to sever! 
It is done — we are parted, 
Henceforth and for ever!
