THE ORIGIN OF FLOWERS.

There were no roses till the first child
died,
No violets, no balmy breath heartsease,
No heliotrope, nor buds so dear to bees,
The honey-hearted woodbine, no gold-eyed
And white lasht daisy-hower, nor, stretch
ing wide,
Clover and sowslip-cups, like rival seas,
Meeting and parting, as the young
spring breeze
Runs giddy races paying seek and hide;
For all flowers died when Eve left Para
disc,
And all the world was powerless
awhile,
Until child was laid in earth,
Then from its grave grew violets for its
eyes,
And from its lips rose-petals for its
smile,
And so all flowers from that chid's
death took birth.
