A VALENTINE, by ANONYMOUS First Line: Tis a song of a snowflake cold and white Last Line: Who came one day and did gently woo / to warmth the heart of the lady Subject(s): Courtship | ||||||||
'T IS a song of a snow-flake cold and white, Which came to earth on a winter's night, And lay serene in the calm moonlight By the window of a lady. 'T is the song of a sunbeam bright and gay, Which pierced the cloud of a winter's day To melt the snowflake where it lay Before the eyes of the lady. A song of a heart like the snow-flake cold That longed in vain for a sunbeam bold To pierce the crust and pour its gold Into the life of the lady. And then there's a song which is sweet and true, Of some one fair, with eyes of blue, Who came one day and did gently woo To warmth the heart of the lady. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AS YOU WALK OUT ONE MORNING by GLYN MAXWELL TALE OF THE MAYOR'S SON by GLYN MAXWELL THE RIVALS by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON MARJORIE'S WOOING by EMMA LAZARUS THE FORTUNATE SPILL by MARILYN NELSON REQUEST TO LEDA by DYLAN THOMAS TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
