A VALENTINE: 1852, by GEORGE K. DENNY First Line: Would I might kiss that crimson lip Last Line: And be thy valentine. Subject(s): Holidays; Love; Valentine's Day | ||||||||
Would I might kiss that crimson lip, With honied smiles o'erflowing; Would I might watch the opening rose Upon thy soft cheek glowing. Thy glorious tresses to thy waist In raven blackness sweep; Two tiny feet, in velvet cased, Beneath thy dresses peep. I bow me to thy beauty's spell, And wish those charms were mine. I'd love thee always passing well, And be thy Valentine. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE 1922 BABY by GEORGE K.
