Clematis - The Language of Flowers

Clematis.
This is a very graceful climbing plant, bearing white and pale-blue flowers.
Mental Beauty.

Excelling riches dwell within thy mind-
Strong, fervent thought, and eloquence refined;
Ideal beauty clusters round thy soul,
While deep within, the waves of feeling roll.
Religious fervour mingles with the grace
Of playful fancy to illume thy face;
And sparkling wit with graver sense unites,
And fills thine eye with many changling lights.
Oh, beautiful indeed, and a mind like thine,
And well might angels bow at such a shrine;
But man, weak man, oft passes idly by,
To worship beauty that attracts the eye;
While mental grace, a charm that ne'er can fade,
Flies from the crowd, and dwells amid the shade.
