" Behold these brightly-tinted flowers !
How fresh the blush upon their silken leaves,
With the clear dew-drop, glancing in the sun
As bright as diamond, with its ray intense,
Shining the most when most 'tis shone upon.
Does it not glad thy heart to look on them ?
Are they not glorious ministers of heaven,
Shedding their sweetness on the summer earth,
To tell us of His love who sent them here?"

Lady Blessington.
