ST. VALENTINE'S EVE, by EUGENE WATSON BURLINGAME First Line: I will write little ethel some verse Last Line: In the newly made curls of her hair. Subject(s): Holidays; Valentine's Day | ||||||||
HE. "I WILL write little Ethel some verses, The love that I bear her to tell; I've no money for tokens more costly, I'm sure these will do quite as well. "How pleased she will be when she gets them! What a sweet little note I'll receive In acknowledgment of the verses I sent her St. Valentine's eve." SHE. "What a miserable jumble of phrases! What chaotic verse do I see! I wonder what could have possessed him To send these effusions to me! "Never mind, though, I'm sure they'll be useful, And I think I know just about where." So she took them, and twisted, and placed them In the newly made curls of her hair. | Other Poems of Interest...NICHARCHUS UPON PHIDON HIS DOCTOR by EZRA POUND ODE FOR THE BURIAL OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT EMERSON by MARY ELIZABETH MAPES DODGE ITALY SWEET TOO! by JOHN KEATS FIRST LOVE by JOHANNA AMBROSIUS THE SUNFISH LAKE ROAD by BEATRICE MARY BILLING POUR QUI SAIT ATTENDRE by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT THE CONSTELLATIONS by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT |
