  1. A Valentine (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    My soul with anguish now is fraught
    Your love alas: too long I've sought
    My pleadings now have come to naught
    Which wounds me most severely.

    *

    But when I'm dead pray do consign
    One tear unto a lover's shrine
    Then please forgive this valentine
    From one who loves you dearly.
