HYMN TO THE FLOWERS. 
BY HORACE SMITH. 
Day-stars! that ope your eyes with man, ta 
twinkle 
From rainbow galaxies of earth’s creation, 
And dew-drops on her holy altars sprinkle 
As a libation. 
Ye matin worshippers ! who bending twly 
fore the uprisen sun, God’s lidless “ont 
w from your chalices a sweet and holy 
Incense on high. 


t Mosaics! that wit 
The floor of nature’s temple tesselate 
With n umerous emblems of instructive duty 
Your forms create.
