FLORA’S ALBUM. 
























American Star Wort. 
A slender plant, with starry blossoms. 
WELCOME TO A STRANGER. 
Lady, thou camest from a stranger land, 
And little of thee I know ; 
Yet thou art joined to the fading band 
Of travellers here below. 
And thou art of woman’s form and mien, 
Hast a woman’s heart within ; 
And, by thine eye and thy brow, I ween 
Her sorrows with thee have been. 
Thy Father is mine, and mine is thine ; 
We both are his equa care ; 
His goodness, and love. and blessings benign, 
We each as his children share. 
In sympathy, then, I give thee a hand 
And greet thee as thus we go, 
And pledge a renewal in that bright land 
Where pleasures perennial grow. 
Mrs. JANE E. LOCKE.
