HAYL TO SAINT VALENTINE.
This year st. Valentine is bold,
Nor will the anxious maiden scold
If she should send her destined mate
A card Ito circumscribe his fate)
OF sweeter fragrance, deeper words
Than sang last year the pairing birds,
Or breatbed the modest violet.
He will forgive, and not forget,
Mid alternating hope and fear,
This is her op,s devoted year.
