III.
From beings animate to vegetive—In theeDelight the sober Night-shade of Peru;
The flower which charms the midnight of the Cape;
The rich Nyctanthes,—blushing on the banks
Of sultry Ganges;—and the splendid flower,
Surpassing all that blossom in the day,
Thence call'd Magnificent.—The solemn tree,
That bears mild Melancholy's sacred name,
Beholds thee, too, with silent gratitude;
Lulling the spice-trees of the balmy isles
80
Wafts the stolen fragrance o'er the murmuring main.
