Excerpt from Flora's Lexicon: An Interpretation of the Language and Sentiment of Flowers; With an Outline of Botany, and a Poetical Introduction
Our rocks are rough, but smiling there The Acacia waves her yellow hair, Lonely and sweet. Nor loved the less For flowering in a wilderness Then come - thy Arab maid will be The loved and lone Acacia tree.
