DEAR, may I be your Valentine? Not just to-day, in weather fine; Not just to-day, in lover's mood, But through life's each vicissitude. Not just when girlish eyes still shine, Dear, may I be your Valentine, But through all mortal whims and fits While Time our human fibres knits. And though, most sweet, my peevish earth Is hardly such promotion worth, Dear, may I be your Valentine And learn to make your virtue mine? Recalling by love's old refrain Our double joy, divided pain, I write this pleading, smiling line -- @3Dear, may I be your Valentine?@1 | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SONG FOR COLIN by SARA TEASDALE THE HOUSEKEEPER by CHARLES LAMB PIANO by DAVID HERBERT LAWRENCE LAVENDER'S BLUE (1) by MOTHER GOOSE SING-SONG; A NURSERY RHYME BOOK: 90 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI THE WHEELING WORLD by JAMES ROBERT ALLEN THE ART OF PRESERVING HEALTH: BOOK 4.
