First Line: This, with the love of the boys
Last Line: Sends you this valentine.
Subject(s): Holidays; Trowbridge, John Townsend (1827-1916); Valentine's Day
This, with the love of the boys,
Frank and hearty and true,
Goes to a maker of joys
Ever exultantly new:
Stories of home and of school,
Stories of work and of play,
Built on a masterful rule,
Manly, sagacious, and gay.
Still with a youthful heart
Under your silvery hair,
Still with a happy art
Banishing foolish care, --
What are the proud world's toys
Here where your laurels shine?
All of the world of boys
Sends you this valentine.
