PREFACE.

  • THISTLE down, thistle down, cast to the wind
  • So lightly and wildly, you scarcely can find
  • A glimpse of it here, or a gleam of it there,
  • As it trembles, a silvery mist, on the air.
  • Like the wide thorny leaves whence the mother root threw
  • Up its crown of rich purple, bejewelled with dew,
  • These feathery nothings, barbed, sparsely, with seeds,
  • Must struggle for life with the brambles and weeds.
