TO HER whose glamor moves and stirs And bids me try to do her honor, Whose peerless beauty made me hers The first time I laid eyes upon her -- Whose profile thrilled my boyish dream And made a shrine for youthful passion, Whose magic is the chosen theme Her lovers praise, each in his fashion -- Who turns her ever-changing face To fit the moods that men bring to her, And in her heart can find a place For all who venturously woo her -- To her who, beautiful and great, Deserves a more pretentious ditty -- To her, in love, I dedicate This Valentine -- to New York City! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN HONOR OF TAFFY TOPAZ by CHRISTOPHER DARLINGTON MORLEY SONG FOR A LITTLE HOUSE by CHRISTOPHER DARLINGTON MORLEY THE PLUMPUPPETS by CHRISTOPHER DARLINGTON MORLEY THOUGHTS WHILE PACKING A TRUNK by CHRISTOPHER DARLINGTON MORLEY A BURNING BOSOM by CHRISTOPHER DARLINGTON MORLEY A CHARM; FOR OUR NEW FIREPLACE TO STOP ITS SMOKING by CHRISTOPHER DARLINGTON MORLEY A DISCOVERY by CHRISTOPHER DARLINGTON MORLEY A GRACE BEFORE WRITING by CHRISTOPHER DARLINGTON MORLEY A GRUB STREET RECESSIONAL by CHRISTOPHER DARLINGTON MORLEY A HALLOWEEN MEMORY by CHRISTOPHER DARLINGTON MORLEY |
