MARVEL OF PERU. 
Call it not wasted the scent we lend 
To the breeze when no step is nigh ; 
Oh! thus for ever the earth should send 
Her grateful breath on high I 
“ And love us as emblems, night’s dewy flowers, 
Of hopes unto sorrows given. 
That spring through the gloom of the darkest hours, 
Looking alone to heaven.”
