. A memorial of Alice and Phoebe Cary : with some of their later poems . 5° LAST POEMS. SPRING FLOWERS.* 0 sweet and charitable friend,Your gift of fragrant bloom Has brought the spring-time and the woods,To cheer my lonesome room. It rests my weary, aching eyes,And soothes my heart and brain; To see the tender green of the leaves,And the blossoms wet with rain. 1 know not which I love the most, Nor which the comeliest shows,The timid, bashful violet,Or the royal-hearted rose : The pansy in her purple dress, The pink with cheek of red,Or the faint, fair heliotrope, who hangs, Like a bashful maid, her head. For I love and prize you one and all,From the least low bloom of spring To the lily fair, whose clothes outshineThe raiment of a king.

SPRING FLOWERS. &$1 And almost long to sleep, and rise And gain that fadeless shore,And put immortal splendor on, And live, to die no more. &,#v /T.
