A VALENTINE.
And if he be an Oxford Don,
Or 'Jonson's learned sock be on,'
A touching Valentine anon
The post shall carry,
When thirteen days are come and gone
Of February.
Farewell, dear friend, and when we meet
In desert waste or crowded street,
Perhaps before this week shall fleet,
Perhaps to-morrow,
I trust to find your heart the seat
Of wasting sorrow.
Feb. 13, 1860.
