Coreopsis. 
A bright yellow flower, in bloom from June till autumn. 
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT. 
‘Let no one say, that there is need 
Of time, for love to grow; 
Ah, no! the love that kills, indeed, 
Despatches at a blow. 
The spark, which but by slow degrees 
Is nursed into a flame, 
Is habit, friendship, what you please ; 
But love is not its name. 
For love to be completely true, 
It death at sight should deal ; 
Should be the first one ‘ver knew ; 
In short be that I feel. 
To write, to sigh, and to converse, 
For years to play the fool, 
*T is to put passion out to nurse, 
And send one’s heart to school.
