Candytuft - The Language of Flowers

Candytuft.
This is a pretty garden flower, bearing clusters of small white blossoms, and forms a very good border to a flower garden.
Indifference.

Take back thy flowers and billet-doux,
Thy sonnets and thy rhymes;
To burn them all I've half resolved
A dozen of different times.

So much waste paper lying round-
So many withered herbs-
I'm sure the very sight of them
My quietude disturbs.

Thou knowest well I little care
For gifts like these from thee;
'Tis love alone gives worth to such-
And thou hast none from me.
