Blue bells (c1877)
-
Valentine card from the Puck and Blossom series, published by Marcus Ward & Co, and illustrated by Kate Greenaway.
The verse reads:
"Come dance in the meadows
The cowslips are there,
Nodding their heads
In the sweet scented air:
The blue bells make music
Which we cannot hear,
And play for the fairies,
Whose delicate ear
Can catch all the talk
Of each insect and flower,
And see in my eyes
Love increasing each hour."Location: Album of Christmas, New Year and other Greeting Cards. Early and Fine Printing Collection item number 719847 AQ741.68
