19th century Valentine (c1830 to 1850) 6
-
"Oh, could I hear thee once declare,
That fond affection lives for me;
Oh, could I once delighted share,
The sweet return of love from thee.I, who no other object know,
Which could my heart from thee estrange,
Confess a love which joy or woe,
Or life or death could never change."Location: A Collection of Nineteenth Century Valentines. Early and Fine Printing Collection.
