Ny Saint.

OF all the saints that star
The calendar,
Be mine
The kind Saint Valentine!
Forsooth, was it not he
Did succor me
My heart
Ease of its bitter smart?
He bade once more to ope
The door of hope;
Above
He set the moon of love
The love compelling moon,
For precious boon,
In skies
That are your tender eyes.
Now lifts with me along
Joy, like a song;
Through you
The dream at last comes tue
So, OF all saints that star
The calendar,
Be mine
The kind Saint Valentinei

Make haste to lift the heavy lock
And bid young Cupid in.
Glad then shall CLEAN the skies above,
And glad this heart of mine
To be at last with her I love
With you, dear Valentinel
