My Valentine.

Topics: classic

O Dorothy, sweet Dorothy,             You make my heart rejoice;         Your presence is like Arcady,             There's music in your voice;         Heaven's purity is on your brow,             Its light is in your eyne;         I love you, and I ask you now             To be my Valentine.         Your face is like the lily in             The morning's ruddy light;         Your dimpled cheeks and tiny chin             Are blessings to my sight;         Your lips are fairer than the rose             And redder far than wine;         Your teeth are whiter than the snows:             You'll be my Valentine!         You are not quite so old as I,             You've seen but summers three;         And that's no doubt the reason why             You are not coy with me.         I'll come to you to-morrow,             And on chocolates we'll dine;         And you'll have no thought of sorrow             When you are my Valentine.
