Xenia Epigram - With A Mosaic "Forget Me Not"

With A Mosaic "Forget Me Not"

Accept and wear this constant flower,
Thus copied out by art.
It blooms in Nature but its hour,--
For ever in the heart.
Affections into habits grown,--
Lives fastened in one lot,--
The flower has strengthened into stone
We name "Forget me not."

Famous quotes containing the word forget:

    ... we did not call ourselves ladies. We did not forget that we were working-girls, wearing coarse aprons suitable to our work, and that there was some danger of our becoming drudges.
    Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)
