LAVENDER.
Gr.iv walls that lichon stains. .ihn.t' tako the sun end th© ruins . ’Old, stately, and wise; ’ Clipt yews, old lawns flag-bordered In ancient ways vet ordered; * South walks where the loud bea plies Daylong tul summer flies— 1 Hero grows Lavender, here 'breathes England, ° Sprawling for elbow-room. Spearing straight spikes of Bloom, Oic.Tii, wayward, iind. tough* Sweet and tall and siwiclcr. ’ True, enduring, and tender, Buoyant and bold and bluff. Simplest, sanest ot shift— Thus Bavender, thence breathes —AT. AV. BLAIR FISH.
