Flowers-Marsh Marigold: Quotations from Cyclopedia of Practical Quotations

A little marsh-plant, yellow green, And prick'd at lip with tender red. Tread close, and either way you tread, Some faint black water jets between Lest you should bruise the curious head.— SWINBURNE — The Sundew.

Meadow Rue. Thalictrum. When emerald slopes are drowned in song, When weary grows the unclouded blue, When warm winds sink in billowy bloom, And flood you with a faint perfume, One moment leave the rapturous throng To seek the haunts of meadow rue!— ELAINE GOODALE — Meadow Rue.

Mignonette. Reseda Odorata. Here bloom red roses, dewy wet, And beds of fragrant mignonette.— ELAINE GOODALE — Thistles and Roses.

Moccasin Flower. Cypripedium. With careless joy we thread the woodland ways And reach her broad domain. Thro' sense of strength and beauty, free as air. We feel our savage kin, - And thus alone with conscious meaning wear The Indian's moccasin!— ELAINE GOODALE — Moccasin Flower.

Morning-Glory. Ipomea. Wondrous interlacement! Holding fast to threads by green and silky rings, With the dawn it spreads its white and purple wings; Generous in its bloom, and sheltering while it clings, Sturdy morning-glory.— HELEN HUNT — Verses. Morning-Glory.

The morning-glory's blossoming Will soon be coming round; We see their rows of heart-shaped leaves Upspringing from the ground.— MARIA WHITE LOWELL — The Morning-

Glory. Myrtle. Myrtus Communis. Nor myrtle-which means chiefly love: and love Is something awful which one dare not touch So early o' mornings.— E. B. BROWNING — Aurora Leigh. Bk. II.
