THE FLORAL
JASMINE.
A cottage far retired
Among the woody windings of a vale,
By solitude and deep surrounding shades,
But more by bashful modesty, concealed.

Thomson.
Where palaces and fanes and villas rise,
And gardens smile around and cultured fields,
And fountains gush; and careless herds and flocks
Serenely stray; a world within itself,
Disdaining all assault.
