A VALENTINE, by PRISCILLA JANE THOMPSON Poet's Biography First Line: Out of the depths of a heart of love Last Line: To set my pulse leaping. Subject(s): Holidays; Valentine's Day | ||||||||
OUT of the depths of a heart of love, Out of the birth-place of sighs, Freighted with hope and freighted with fear, My all in a valentine, hies. Oh, frail little missive Of delicate texture, Speed thee, on thy journey, And give her a lecture! Fathom her heart, that seems to me, cold, Trouble her bosom, as mine, Let it be mutual, this that I crave, Her 'yes' for a valentine. Oh, frail little missive, In coy Cupid's keeping, Oh! speed back a message, To set my pulse leaping. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A COMMON OCCURRENCE by PRISCILLA JANE THOMPSON A DOMESTIC STORM by PRISCILLA JANE THOMPSON A HAPPY PAIR by PRISCILLA JANE THOMPSON A HOME GREETING by PRISCILLA JANE THOMPSON A HYMN by PRISCILLA JANE THOMPSON A KINDLY DEED by PRISCILLA JANE THOMPSON A LITTLE WREN by PRISCILLA JANE THOMPSON A PRAYER by PRISCILLA JANE THOMPSON A SOUTHERN SCENE by PRISCILLA JANE THOMPSON A TRIBUTE TO THE BRIDE AND GROOM by PRISCILLA JANE THOMPSON |
