A Pair of Valentines - A poem by Hattie L. Knapp

A Pair of Valentines.

Peerless one, thou art my star,
I long have worshiped thee afar;
O, bend on me those glorious orbs,
Their radiance my soul absorbs.

My heart dost seek thee as the light
That never wavers in its flight;
O, shine for me, for me alone,
Thou radiant star, my light, my sun.

One tender glance from thy dark eyes
Would make this earth a paradise;
Beloved star, wilt thou be mine?
My own, my peerless Valentine.
