| Gentian (Gentiana) |
| And the blue gentian-flower, that, in the breeze, Nods lonely, of her beauteous race the last. Bryant—November. | 1 |
| Thou blossom! bright with autumn dew, And colour’d with the heaven’s own blue, That openest when the quiet light Succeeds the keen and frosty night. Bryant—To the Fringed Gentian. | 2 |
| Blue thou art, intensely blue; Flower, whence came thy dazzling hue? Montgomery—The Gentianella. | 3 |
| Beside the brook and on the umbered meadow, Where yellow fern-tufts fleck the faded ground, With folded lids beneath their palmy shadow The gentian nods in dewy slumbers bound. Sarah Helen Whitman—A Still Day in Autumn. St. 6. | 4 |
