Larkspur. 
« Lobelia attired like a queen in her pride, 
And the Larkspurs, with trimmings new furnished 
and dyed.” Mrs. SIGOURNEY. 







FICKLENESS. 

[62 FLORA’S ALBUM. ag 
| 
| 


Q, agony ! keen agony, 
For trusting heart to find, 
That vows believed were vows conceived, 
As light as summer wind. 








QO, agony ! fierce agony, 
For loving heart to brook, = id 
In one brief hour, the withering power 
Of unimpassioned look. 






O, agony ! deep agony, 
For heart that ’s proud and high, 
To learn of Fate how desolate 
It may be ere it die. 



















0, agony! sharp agony, 
To find how loath to part 
With the fickleness and faithlessness 
That break a trusting heart! 
Wma. MoTHERWELL.
