ST. VALENTINE'S DAY.
Though the bird flies far
And the fair flower goes,
The sweet of the year
Is set in the snows.
And the fair flower goes,
The sweet of the year
Is set in the snows.
The wind o' the winter
It breaks into bloom
And suddenly songs
Are sung in the gloom.
It breaks into bloom
And suddenly songs
Are sung in the gloom.
And winging hearts cross
And whisper together,
And a night and a day
It is perfect weather.
And whisper together,
And a night and a day
It is perfect weather.
February 10th, 1882.
