for BUTTER-AND-EGGS

[Illustration]

On a LADIES' CUSHION sits THRIFT
She never wastes, or steals, or begs,
But she can't give poor RAGWORT a lift.

[Illustration]

QUEEN OF THE MEADS is MEADOWSWEET,
In the realm of grasses wide:

[Illustration]

But not in all her court you meet
The turbaned TURK'S HEAD in his pride.

[Illustration]

Fair BETHLEHEM' STAR shineth bright,
In a lowly place, as of old,

[Illustration]

And through the green gloom glows the light
Of ST. JOHN'S-WORT--a nimbus of gold.

[Illustration]

But the hours of the sun swift glide,
And the flowers with them are speeding.

[Illustration]

Though LOVE-IN-A-MIST may hide.
When Time's in the garden weeding.

[Illustration]

There's TRAVELLER'S JOY
To entwine,
At our journey's end for greeting,

[Illustration]

We can talk over SOPS-IN-WINE,
And drink to our next merry meeting.
