POETRY OF 
! Bright maiden, ne’er forget ! 
Bul learn, and live, and so depart, 
And sing.thou, with thy wiser heart, | 
| Long live the violet. 
Barry Cornwatt. 
th THE CROCUS. 
Dainty young thing 
Of Life! thou venturous flower 
Who growest through the hard cold bower 
Of wintry spring. 
Thou various hued, 
Soft voiceless bell, whose spire 
i Rocks in the grassy leaves like wire 
In solitude. 
Like patience, thou | 
Art quiet in thy earth, 
Instructing Hope that virtue’s birth 
Is feeling’s vow.
