Oh! Montmorency Vere de Vere, <br />To think that one I held so dear <br />Should use a base deceiver’s art <br />To trifle with my loving heart. <br /> <br />A brand new ten-cent valentine <br />With lace and hearts and verses fine, <br />I sent to show my love for thee <br />And in return you send to me <br />The one I sent to you last year, <br />Oh! Montmorency Vere de Vere.<br /><br />Ellis Parker Butler<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-st-valentine-s-day-tragedy/
