HOMAGE. 



O \VEET friend to you this valentine 

 ^ I send, your thoughts to woo, 

 While it in gentle phrase bears mine, 

 Sweet friend, to you. 



Tis but an unpretending line 



To mark the day, and pay anew 

 My homage at Love s happy shrine. 



But why to-day send word or sign, 



When every day and moment too, 

 My heart sends loving valentine, 



Sweet friend, to you.
