~To my Valentine…

.
The Rose is Red, the Violet’s Blue
The Honey’s Sweet and so are You
Thou are my love and I am thine,

I drew thee to my Valentine
The lot was Cast and then I drew
and Fortune said it shou’d be You.

This Valentine's Day poem can be found
in Gammer Gurton's Garland, a 1784

Art by William Worcester Churchill
(1858 – 1926)

Copyright on these images varies.
It is best to assume that modern,
living artists have full
copyright on their work.
I am using them under
'fair use' with,
at least I try to,
full acknowledgement
and links to appropriate sites.
I would advise others to always
check if possible as artists
(understandably) vary
as to their tolerance
of re-use of their works.
