THE BOUQUET. 

















GERANIUM — OAK. 
P. QUERCIFOLIUM. 
True Friendship. 
WHEN fortune changed, and love fled far, 
And hatred’s shafis flew thick and fast, 
Thou wert the solitary star 
Which rose and set not to the last. 
And these, when all was lost besides, 
Were found, and still are fixed in thee ; 
And bearing still a breast so tried, 
Earth is no desert— even to me. Byron 
TRUE as a needle to the pole, 
Or as the dial to the sun ; 
Constant as gliding waters roll, 
Whose swelling tides obey the moon ; 
From every other charmer free, 
My life and love shall follow thee. 
Boortu. 
THov art a friend, indeed, 
Most truly true and kind; 
Thou giv’st me, in my spirit-need, 
Thy wealth of heart and mind! 
Mrs. Oscoon.
