THE BOUQUET. 


























VERBENA or VERVAIN. 
VERBENA FASTATA. 
Sensibility. 
VERBENA, in thy pensive grace, 
The emblem of the feeling heart I trace. 
ANONYMOpS. 
Your heart is a music-box, dearest, 
With exquisite tunes at command, 
Of melody sweetest and clearest, 
If tried by a delicate hand ; 
But its workmanship, love, is so fine, 
At asingle rude touch it would break. 
Then, O, be the magic key mine, 
Its fairy-like whispers to wake! 
Mrs, Oseoon. 
GENTLE as angel’s ministry, 
The guiding hand of love shonld be, 
Which seeks again those cords to bind, 
Which human wo hath rent apart— 
To heal again the wounded mind, 
And bind anew the broken heart. 
J. G. WHITTIER.
