 THE

, to my lover bear

This letter, with my vows sincere,

Inspire him with thy flame divine,

And let him be my Valentine.

Whilst I with hope my love impart,

Return thy love to me;

And let thy smile delight a heart

That beats alone for thee.

I oft in thought recal the hour

You plighted love to me,

And pray that heaven may kindly shower

Its manly gifts on thee.

If with true love a heart can beat,

I’m sure that heart is mine;

Each hour I pray that I may meet

The faithful love of thine.

Ye gentle gales that waft my sighs.

Go to the youth for whom they rise,

And win him to approve my prayer,

That he will love and end my care.
