Oh! little loveliest lady mine, <br />What shall I send for your valentine? <br />Summer and flowers are far away; <br />Gloomy old Winter is king to-day; <br />Buds will not blow, and sun will not shine: <br />What shall I do for a valentine? <br />I ’ve searched the gardens all through and through <br />For a bud to tell of my love so true; <br />But buds are asleep, and blossoms are dead <br />And the snow beats down on my poor little head.<br /><br />Laura Elizabeth Richards<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/valentine-s-day-12/
