A VALENTINE.

Madison Julius Cawein

My life is grown a witchcraft place Through gazing on thy form and face. Now‘ t is thy Smile's soft sorcery That makes my soul a melody.

Now‘ t is thy Frown, that comes and goes, That makes my heart a page of prose. Some day, perhaps, a word of thine Will change me to thy VALENTINE.
