SAINT VALENTINE'S DAY by ANONYMOUS

First Line: WHEN BLUSHES DYED THE CHEEK OF MORN
Last Line: I'M COME TO BE THY VALENTINE.'
Subject(s): HEARTS;HOLIDAYS;LOVE;VALENTINE'S DAY;
WHEN blushes dyed the cheek of Morn,
And dew-drops glistened on the thorn,
When sky-larks tuned their carols sweet,
To hail the god of light and heat,
Philander from his downy bed
To fair Lisetta's chamber sped,
Crying: 'Awake, sweet love of mine,
I'm come to be thy Valentine.'
