FLORA’S ALBUM. 

Passion Flower. 
A beautiful running plant, with curious blue flowers, 
RELIGIOUS FERVOR. 
I asked her when in beauty dressed, 
When youthful hope inspired her breast, 
Where dwelleth he whom thou lovest best ¢ 
She said —in Heaven. 
I asked her when she fondly prest 
Her smiling infant to her breast, 
Where dwelleth he whom thou lovest best ? 
She said —in Heaven. 
I asked her when her bloom was lost, 
When all her earthly hopes were crossed, 
Where dwelleth he whom thou lovest best ? 
She said —in Heaven. 
f asked her in the dying gloom, 
Who is the brightest loveliest one ? 
*T is God, she cried, my God alone; 
And went —to Heaven.
