Page 371 - Must I thus leave thee, Paradise? thus leave Thee, native soil, these happy walks and shades, Fit haunt of gods? where I had hope to spend, Quiet though sad, the respite of that day That must be mortal to us both. O flowers, That never will in other climate grow, My early visitation, and my last At even, which I bred up with tender hand From the first opening bud, and gave ye names, Who now shall rear thee to the sun, or rank Your tribes, and water from the ambrosial fount?

And GOD blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

Page 376 - Some new dwarf kinds are now to be had which have merit, and recently double varieties have made their appearance, which, as soon as the type becomes reliably fixed, will prove quite an acquisition. Sweet Peas: While not so satisfactory with us as in the States farther north, it makes a fine addition to the flower garden in the early part of the season if planted as early in the spring as the ground can be worked. Verbenas: May be treated as annuals if the seed is sown in hotbeds early in the spring,...
Page 126 - Thy Father has written for thee." " Come, wander with me," she said, " Into regions yet untrod ; And read what is still unread In the manuscripts of God." And he wandered away and away With Nature, the dear old nurse, Who sang to him night and day The rhymes of the universe. And whenever the way seemed long, Or his heart began to fail, She would sing a more wonderful song, Or tell a more marvellous tale.
