Hearts Were Made to Give Away
Hearts were made to give away
On Valentine's good day;
Wrap them up in dainty white,
Send them off the thirteenth night,
Any kind of heart that's handy --
Hearts of lace, and hearts of candy,
Hearts all trimmed with ribbons fine
Send for good St. Valentine.
Hearts were made to give away
On Valentine's dear day.

February Twilight
I stood beside a hill
Smooth with new-laid snow,
A single star looked out
From the cold evening glow.
There was no other creature
That saw what I could see --
I stood and watched the evening star
As long as it watched me.

A Valentine
Frost flowers on the window glass,
Hopping chickadees that pass,
Bare old elms that bend and sway,
Pussy willows, soft and gray,
Silver clouds across the sky,
Lacy snowflakes flitting by,
Icicles like fringe in a line --
That is Outdoor's Valentine.
