THE BOUQUET. 67 

LAVENDER. 
LAVENDULA SPICA. 
Acknowledgment. 
« Into feel the deep devotion 
Of a pilgrim at a shrine; 
If to weep with fond emotion, 
Be to love thee —I am thine. 
If to treasure every token, 
Every look, and every sign, 
Every light word thou hast spoken, 
Be to love thee — I am thine. 
Mrs. V. E. Howarp. 
Yes! by those eyes of azure glory, 
Shedding their star-like smiles on me ; 
Yes! by that cheek, changing and glowing, 
Warm as the plumage of yon bright lory ; 
By those ringlets so richly flowing, 
Dearest, I love but thee ! 
Yes! by that foot of fairy fleetness, 
Springing ever so light and free, 
By that figure’s gazelle-like grace, love, 
By thy spirit’s pure truth end sweetness, 
By all thy magic of mind and face, love, 
Ever I love but thee! Mrs. Oseoon.
