VALENTINE: TO MR. GILES by SARA JANE CLARKE LIPPINCOTT

First Line: A CLASSIC HEAVEN OF OLD THY SOUL
Last Line: OR CONVERSE WITH THE MUSES.
Subject(s): HOLIDAYS; VALENTINE'S DAY;

A CLASSIC heaven of old thy soul, --
Song, grace, and fire divine;
But the heaven of a purer faith,
That Christian heart of thine.
Thus he who walks beside thee
Hath what employ he chooses;
May worship with the Angels,
Or converse with the Muses.
