POETRY OF FLOWERS. 

The river nobly foams and flows, 
The charm of this enchanted ground, 
And all its thousand turns disclose Fi 
Some fresher beauty varying round; 4 | 
The haughtiest breast its wish might bound, {| : 
Through life to dwell delighted here; 
Nor couid on earth a spot be found . i} 
To nature and to me so dear, MI 
Could thy dear eyes, in following mine, 
Still sweeten more these banks of Rhine i 

















TO A FLOWER, | | | 
Dawn, gentle flower, 
From the morning earth! 
We will gaze and wonder 
At thy wondrous birth! 
| 
| 
: 
Bloom, gentle flower! | mit 
Lover of the light, mh, 
fought by wind and shower, ae 
Fondled by the night a 
Fade, gentle flower, 
All thy white leaves closes 
Having shown thy beauty, 
‘Time ’tis for repose.
