Shirley Hibberd (Every flower that blooms)

"In every flower that blooms around, Some pleasing emblem we may trace: Young love is in the myrtle found, And memory in the pansy's grace; Peace in the olive branch we see, Hope in the half-shut iris glows, In the bright laurel victory, And lovely woman in the rose."

Fourth Series.
