PALM FLOWERS.
In a land of the sun's blessing,
Where the passion-flower grows,
My heart keeps all worth possessing;
And the way there no man knows.
—Unknown wonder of new beauty!
There my Love lives all for me;
To love me is her whole duty,
Just as I would have it be.
All the perfumes and perfections
Of that clime have met with grace
In her body, and complexions
Of its flowers are on her face.
