OH! little loveliest lady mine, What shall I send for your valentine? Summer and flowers are far away; Gloomy old Winter is king to-day; Buds will not blow, and sun will not shine: What shall I do for a valentine? I've searched the gardens all through and through For a bud to tell of my love so true; But buds are asleep, and blossoms are dead, And the snow beats down on my poor little head: So, little loveliest lady mine, Here is my heart for your valentine! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MOLLY PITCHER [JUNE 28, 1778] by LAURA ELIZABETH HOWE RICHARDS A SONG OF TWO ANGELS by LAURA ELIZABETH HOWE RICHARDS AT EASTER TIME by LAURA ELIZABETH HOWE RICHARDS JOHNNY'S BY-LOW SONG by LAURA ELIZABETH HOWE RICHARDS SANDY HOOK by LAURA ELIZABETH HOWE RICHARDS SONG OF THE LITTLE WINDS by LAURA ELIZABETH HOWE RICHARDS THE MANOR LORD by LAURA ELIZABETH HOWE RICHARDS WHERE HELEN SITS by LAURA ELIZABETH HOWE RICHARDS BEAUTY THAT IS NEVER OLD by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON |
