Flowers are Love's truest language; they betray,

Where precious wealth lies buried, not of gold,

Ye field flowers! the gardens eclipse you 'tis true:
Yet wildings of nature, I dote upon you,
For ye waft me to summers of old,
When the earth teem'd around me with fairy delight,
And when daisies and buttercups gladden'd my sight,
Like treasures of silver and gold.

Sweet letters of the angel tongue,
I've loved ye long and well,
And never have failed in your fragrance sweet
To find some secret spell,--

For mine is the old belief,
That midst your sweets and midst your bloom,
There's a soul in every leaf!
