MY FIRST VALENTINE
There came to me- some years ago, dainty valen-
And how pondered DER and DER one simple little
line:
"Oh yes so WELL so tenderly thourt loved, adored
That fame and fortune worthless unless to
share with thee
Those words inscribed In letters bright. never can
forget.
And she who then attuned my heart inspires its
praises yet;
from heaven above,
I've played on all the chords Of life, but none so
sweet as love.
Twas she who taught my hands to pluck the
flowers along the way,
And I would crown her with the buds the queen
of opening May,
And her silvery laughter hoated out upon the
breeze
It seemed to wake to sweeter songs the birds
among the trees
Without her cheering presence fame would be
And wealth with all It's glitterng train devoid OF
dearest JOY;
All life would lose It's sunshine and the flowers
to bloom,
And this old earth would be to naught but a
living tomb.
AS years of worship fill the soul with hope that
never dies
So passing time has only served to strengthen all
the ties:
And clasp her to my heart, and her sweet lips
touch mine,
I bless the day Love came my way within val
entine
