THE FLORAL
STAR OF BETHLEHEM.
A maiden never bold— Of spirit so still and quiet, that thy motion Blushes at thyself.
Shakspeare.
Subtle, discerning, eloquent; the slave Of Love, of Hate, forever in extremes; Gentle when unprovoked, easily won, But quick in quarrel—thro’ a thousand shades Thy spirit flits, chameleon-like; and mocks The eye of the observer.
Rogers.
