A Valentine

Your cheeks are garden-spots
Of Touch-me-nots;
Your hair the gathered beams
Of sunny dreams;
And that your soul looks thro'
Are bits of fallen blue.

No wall hath circled yet,
Nor dews have wet,
A red rose like your lips.
To steal sweet kisses from your brow,
A lightsome zephyr I would be,—
A brook to murmur you a vow
Of love and constancy.

Your cheeks are garden-spots
Of Touch-me-nots;
Your hair the gathered beams
Of sunny dreams;
And that your soul looks thro'
Are bits of fallen blue.

No wall hath circled yet,
Nor dews have wet,
A red rose like your lips.
To steal sweet kisses from your brow,
A lightsome zephyr I would be,—
A brook to murmur you a vow
Of love and constancy.
