Calla - The Language of Flowers

Calla.
This is a native of Ethiopia, and is much esteemed for its beautiful snow white calyx, and broad, green leaves.
Modesty.

The blue bell by the meadow rill
Is not more fair than thou,
With thy downcast and thoughtful eye,
Thy pure and gentle brow.

All sweet and holy dreams seem blent
Within thy maiden heart;
How delicate in every look,
In every thought thou art!

The blush so frequent on thy cheek,
Thy meek and quiet air,
Thy low and gentle accents,-all
Thy purity declare.
