A VALENTINE: 1922, by GEORGE K. DENNY First Line: I dare not kiss that crimson lip Last Line: And be thy valentine. Subject(s): Holidays; Love; Valentine's Day | |||
I dare not kiss that crimson lip, Lest it should need renewing; Upon thy cheek the opening rose Now takes a lot of doing. Thy glorious tresses are no more Since Fashion orders &ld;bobbing&rd;; Knees now peep out, whenas of yore Feet set my pulses throbbing. But just the same -- I bow me to thy beauty's spell, And wish those charms were mine. I'd love thee always passing well, And be thy Valentine. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VALENTINE THOUGHTS FOR MARI by EMANUEL DI PASQUALE A VALENTINE FOR MY TEACHER by JACK PRELUTSKY A VALENTINE TO SHERWOOD ANDERSON by GERTRUDE STEIN THOUGH VALENTINE BRINGS LOVE by WALLACE STEVENS A VALENTINE by WALLACE STEVENS THREE VALENTINES TO THE WIDE WORLD by MONA VAN DUYN ON ST.
