A VALENTINE: 1852, by                    
First Line: Would I might kiss that crimson lip
Last Line: And be thy valentine.
Subject(s): Holidays; Love; Valentine's Day


Would I might kiss that crimson lip,
With honied smiles o'erflowing;
Would I might watch the opening rose
Upon thy soft cheek glowing.
Thy glorious tresses to thy waist
In raven blackness sweep;
Two tiny feet, in velvet cased,
Beneath thy dresses peep.

I bow me to thy beauty's spell,
And wish those charms were mine.
I'd love thee always passing well,
And be thy Valentine.
