ST. VALENTINE'S DAY by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "THE ROSE IS RED, THE VIOLET'S BLUE / THE HONEY'S SWEET, AND SO ARE YOU"
Last Line: AND FORTUNE SAID IT SHOULD BE YOU

THE rose is red, the violet's blue,
The honey's sweet, and so are you.
Thou art my love and I am thine;
I drew thee to my Valentine.
The lot was cast and then I drew,
And fortune said it should be you.
