Text Appearing Before Image:
oh! lend me thy light,I must gather the mystic St. Johns Wort to-night;The wonderful herb, whose leaf will decide,If the coming year shall make me a bride. And the glow-worm came, With its silvery flame, And sparkled and shone Thro the night of St. John,And soon has the young maid her love-knot tied. With noiseless treadTo her chamber she sped,Where the spectral moon her white beams sheds : Bloom here, bloom here, thou plant of power,To deck the young bride in her bridal hour ! But it droopd its head—that plant of power—And died the mute death of the voiceless flower;And a witherd wreath on the ground it lay,More meet for a burial than bridal day. And when a year had passd away, All pale on her bier the young maid lay ! And the glow-worm came, With its silvery flame, And sparkled and shone Thro the night of St. John,And they closed the cold grave on the maids cold clay. Fig. 1, germ, with its three styles ; 2, vertical section of the capsule, showingthe arrangement of seeds. ir?9z
