Si eae EN E S ARAT ONE Valentine’s day, in the bright Spring weather, Iwo young rooks were talking together. Said one to the other, ‘ My partner be, Let us make upa nest in a tall, tall tree, And share it between us.” “ Yes,” said the other, “You for the father, and J for the mother.”’ They built their nest busily, shaped it with skill, They decked it, at last, with a gay daffodil— Sheltered and stately, and steady, and strong, It served them together the whole Summer long. One Valentine’s day, in the sweet Spring weather, A boy and a girl were talking together. Said Philip to Phillis, “My partner be, Let me share with you, and you share with me.” Said Phillis to Philip, “ And help one another, I for the sister, and you for the brother.” Said Philip to Phillis, “ Sweet cousin of mine, Let s be each to the other, a true Valentine!" They made it between them, a love-promise strong, And they kept it together, their whole lives long. 40
