THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS. 17} 
Dodder of Thyme : Baseness. 
Dogsbane... Deceit. La: schood, 
Dosweed 7.5 i Durability. 
Dragon Plant as Snare. 
Dragonwort Llorror. 
Dried Flax ... Utility. 
The spring—she is a blessed thing ! 
She is the mother of the flowers ; 
She is the mate of birds and bees, 
The partner of our reveries, 
Our star of hope through wintry hours. 
Up! let us to the fields away, 
And breathe the fresh and balmy air; 
The bird is building in the tree, 
The flower has open’d to the bee— 
And health, and love, and peace are there. | 
Mary Howitt.
