DAILY VALENTINES.

Just a little word OF cheer
To some lonely heart;
Just little deed Of love
As the tear.drops start.
Trick Of eye or tone Of voice
Nay clear up The wa.
And make the sunshine where but gloom
Else had filled the day.
Write your message as you will.
Il can never be
Like the spoken word and look
Fraughl with sympathy.
Send loves tailsmau abroad
Over sea and land;
But 10 home friends give the clasp
OF your helping hand.
Daily valentines that make
Lie seem good to live,
10 our near md dear ones are
Priceless things to give.
Like the sunshine and the rain
They make fresh and sweet
Places barren. else, and rough
10 their stumbling fee.
