VALENTINE: TO BAYARD TAYLOR by SARA JANE CLARKE LIPPINCOTT

First Line: I SEND THEE HERE NO VALENTINE
Last Line: I PRITHEE, TAYLOR, MEND IT!
Subject(s): HOLIDAYS; TAYLOR, BAYARD (1825-1878); VALENTINE'S DAY;
I SEND thee here no valentine,
I only dash thee off a line.
In trembling haste I send it, --
Give earnest heed to what I say;
I've a grievous rent in my heart to-day,
I prithee, Taylor, mend it!
