A VALENTINE: 1922, by                    
First Line: I dare not kiss that crimson lip
Last Line: And be thy valentine.
Subject(s): Holidays; Love; Valentine's Day


I dare not kiss that crimson lip,
Lest it should need renewing;
Upon thy cheek the opening rose
Now takes a lot of doing.
Thy glorious tresses are no more
Since Fashion orders &ld;bobbing&rd;;
Knees now peep out, whenas of yore
Feet set my pulses throbbing.

But just the same --
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.
