WILD FLOWERS

SACRED POETRY

by

THE ABBE ADRIEN ROUQUETTE
AUTHOR OF "LES SAVANES," FRENCH POEMS.



Ah! L'inspiration n'appartient à personne,
……………………………………………
Et le Dieu qui la donne est libre de l'ôter:
Nul ne peut devancer l'heure par vous choisie
O Grâces! Pour verser en lui la poésie.
(Victor Laprade.)

The sweetest visions which may light
The poet's heart and song,
………………………………………
All earthly things must pass away,
And leave a ruined shrine;
But there are those which ne'er decay—
The holy, the divine.
(Mrs. ANNA PEYRE DINNIES.)



New Orleans:

T. O'DONNELL, 160, CAMP ST:
F. LELIÈVRE, CORNER OR ROYAL AND ST. ANTHONY.

1848
