THE POETRY OF FLOWERS. 
Or see on radiant canvass rise A 
An imitative paradise ; biti 
And feel the warm affections glow, vat 
Pleased at the pencil’s mimic show ; Na 
Tis but obedience to the plan He 
From nature’s birth opposed to man, il 
Who, lest her choicest sweets in vain 
Should blossom fer our thank!ess train ; 
Lest beauty pass unheeded by, I 
Like cloud upon the summer sky ; i i 
Lest memory of the brave and just, Hi 
Should sleep with them confined to dust ; i 
With leading hand the expedient proves, 
And paints for ug tre form she loves.
