DescriptionFlowerey valentine with "My heart greets you." at top right and "Ever Yours." at bottom right. Inside is poem "Dearest, I know not,
And dark is the night;
Shadows are hiding
Each step of the way;
Nought but thy smile
Can awaken the light,
Making of life
One glad summer day.
Oh, let me dream,
As I dreamt once before,
Close in thy heart
Love has raised him a shrine;
So that e'en now,
As in those days of yore,
Love is the lord, dear,
Of thy life and mine."
Written on back in black pen "1864"
