China Aster, Double - The Language of Flowers

China Aster, Double

The Aster is a very extensive genus, but there is none so beautiful as the cultivated China Aster.

I partake your sentiments.

Yes, I am thine! Upon thy bosom leaning,
No grief hath power to damp my fervent bliss;
Nor can such love to thee be overweening-
Thou art deserving all, and more than this!

Beloved, ne'er from thee one moment straying,
My heart shall twine its roots upon thy truth;
All lighter loves than this are fast decaying,
Lost in the dying years of sunny youth.
