VALENTINE'S DAY, by THOMAS HOOD Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Surely the mornin' cupid was born in Last Line: Fluttered and flurried on valentine's day. Subject(s): Holidays; Valentine's Day | ||||||||
SURELY the mornin' Cupid was born in Ought to be kept, 'tis Valentine's day, Father and Mother, Sister and Brother; This, that and t'other may preach as they may, But nothing shall hinder a peep at the winder To see if the postman is over the way. Their hearts they go pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat, Fluttered and flurried on Valentine's Day. Sure, of all days that ever were dated, Valentine's Day is the fullest of news; Then every lass expects to be mated And Cupid goes round collecting his dues! And levies a door-rate, like parish or poor-rate, By getting the Postman to stand in his shoes; Their hearts they go pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat, Fluttered and flurried on Valentine's Day. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BALLAD: TIME OF ROSES by THOMAS HOOD DEATH IN THE KITCHEN by THOMAS HOOD FAITHLESS NELLY GRAY; A PATHETIC BALLAD by THOMAS HOOD FALSE POETS AND TRUE; TO WORDSWORTH by THOMAS HOOD MISS KILMANSEGG AND HER PRECIOUS LEG: HER BIRTH by THOMAS HOOD MISS KILMANSEGG AND HER PRECIOUS LEG: HER DEATH by THOMAS HOOD MISS KILMANSEGG AND HER PRECIOUS LEG: HER MORAL by THOMAS HOOD NOCTURNAL SKETCH; BLANK VERSE IN RHYME by THOMAS HOOD |
