Prang - Saint Valentine's Day card

Back
For my dear
Valentine

When comes Joy if not to-day?
Let us meet him on his way:
Passing like the breath of flowers,
Welcome, welcome, merry hours!
When comes Love if not today?
Let us take him while we may;
Pin his wings and tease him so
We shall all his secrets know.
