THE BOUQUET. 
GERANIUM — LEMON. 
P. acERIFOLIUM. 
Tranquillity of Mind. 
My heart is like a sleeping lake, 
Which takes the hue of cloud and sky, 
Aud only feels its surface break, 
When birds of passage wander by, 
Who dip their wings and upward soar, 
And leave it quiet as before. WILLIs. 
Irs secret and its evidence are writ 
In the broad book ofnature ?T'is to have 
Attentive and believing faculties ; 
To go abroad rejoicing in the joy 
Of beautiful and well-created things ; 
To love the voice of waters, and the sheen 
Of silver fountains leaping to the sea ; 
To thrill with the rich melody of birds, 
Living their life of music; to be glad 
In the gay sunshine, reverent in the storm ; 
To see a beauty in the stirring leaf, 
And find calm thoughts beneath the whispering 
trees 5 
To see and hear, and breathe the evidence 
Of Ged’s deep wisdom in the natural world. 
‘WILLIS.
