ST. VALENTINE’S DAY

Red clover bloweth     Subtle and sweet; The calm river floweth     Close to my feet: Ever and onward     The dark currents sweep Steadily downward,     Silent and deep.
So my heart ever     Turns to its mate; Say, can we sever,     Is it not Fate? As the great river     Sweeps to the sea, So my thoughts ever     Flow, Love, to thee!
