[Fairer than younger beauties, more beloved]
Fairer than younger beauties, more beloved
Than many a wife,—
By stress of Time's vicissitudes unmoved
From settled calm of life,—
Than many a wife,—
By stress of Time's vicissitudes unmoved
From settled calm of life,—
Endearing rectitude to those who watch
The verdict of your face,
Raising & making gracious those who catch
A semblance of your grace:—
The verdict of your face,
Raising & making gracious those who catch
A semblance of your grace:—
With kindly lips of welcome, & with pleased
Propitious eyes benign,
Accept a kiss of homage from your least
Last Valentine.
Propitious eyes benign,
Accept a kiss of homage from your least
Last Valentine.
