VALENTINE: TO MISS C. M. SEDGWICK, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: O glory-wedded! To thy brow
Last Line: Are 'mid thy laurels blushing!
Alternate Author Name(s): Greenwood, Grace
Subject(s): Holidays; Valentine's Day


O GLORY-WEDDED! To thy broq
A coronal is given,
For Which, when song and Greece were young,
The very gods had striven.
O, find'st thou not that envied crown
A weary weight, and chilling?
Its lonely glory, is it not
An ice-touch, heartward thrilling?
Ah, no! even now a rosy light
Those vernal leaves is flushing;
O woman-hearted, love's warm buds
Are 'mid thy laurels blushing!
