Original Poetry.
Flowers ye are so beautiful, With your fragrance sweet; Tour varied colors charm us. Whore o'er our eyes you greet. Thu lovely rose, the queen of flowers, Doth in my garden bloom, And though the loaves may withered be, Thoy still the air perfume. The lily with its petrly bells Anclglossy dark green leave?, The Jessamine with its starry flowora Doth creep above the oaves. And close besido the cottago wall The gay geranium grows ; And in the shadow of its leaves, Tho modest violet blows. And in my littlo garden I have one favored spot, Where my brother planted long ago The blue forget-me-not. And a thousand other beauties Are within my gnrden found; Tho beneficent Creator Has scattered them around. Thv fragrance, oh ye flowers, Doth waft our thoughts away To the better land, where fairer flowers Bloom in eternal day, . G.E.G.
