ROMANCE OF NATURE;

OR,

The Flower-Seasons Illustrated.



BY

LOUISA ANNE TWAMLEY.


THE PLATES ENGRAVED AFTER ORIGINAL DRAWINGS FROM NATURE
BY THE AUTHOR.



SECOND EDITION.



I sing of brooks, of blossomes, birds and bowers,
Of April, May, of June and July flowers,
I sing of youth, of love too, and I write
How roses first came red, and lilies white;
I write of groves and twilight, and I sing
The court of Mab, and of the Fairie King.
Herrick.

There's wit in every flower, if you can gather it.Shirley.
