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.
Thomson.
