TO HER whose glamor moves and stirs
And bids me try to do her honor,
Whose peerless beauty made me hers
The first time I laid eyes upon her --
Whose profile thrilled my boyish dream
And made a shrine for youthful passion,
Whose magic is the chosen theme
Her lovers praise, each in his fashion --
Who turns her ever-changing face
To fit the moods that men bring to her,
And in her heart can find a place
For all who venturously woo her --
To her who, beautiful and great,
Deserves a more pretentious ditty --
To her, in love, I dedicate
This Valentine -- to New York City!
