VALENTINE: TO MISS C. M. SEDGWICK by SARA JANE CLARKE LIPPINCOTT

First Line: O GLORY-WEDDED! TO THY BROW
Last Line: ARE 'MID THY LAURELS BLUSHING!
Subject(s): HOLIDAYS; VALENTINE'S DAY;

O GLORY-WEDDED! To thy broq
A coronal is given,
For Which, when song and Greece were young,
The very gods had striven.
O, find'st thou not that envied crown
A weary weight, and chilling?
Its lonely glory, is it not
An ice-touch, heartward thrilling?
Ah, no! even now a rosy light
Those vernal leaves is flushing;
O woman-hearted, love's warm buds
Are 'mid thy laurels blushing!
