A VALENTINE, by                    
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.
