Woodbine (Lonicera)

And stroke with listless hand
The woodbine through the window, till at last
I came to do it with a sort of love.
E. B. Browning—Aurora Leigh. Bk. I.

A filbert-hedge with wild-briar overtwined,
And clumps of woodbine taking the soft wind
Upon their summer thrones.
Keats—I Stood Tiptoe Upon a Little Hill.

And the woodbine spices are wafted abroad,
And the musk of the rose is blown.
Tennyson—Maud. Pt. XXII. St. I.
