Valentine

 

"She said distinctively:
My beloved is mine and I am his!
He pastures his flock among the lilies."
Song of Solomon 2:16

He exclaimed:
O my love, how beautiful you are!
There is no flaw in you!"
Song of Solomon 4:7

Woman At Window

Curth Georg Becker

(1904-1972)

German artist

Upon this day one secret of my heart,

Till now concealed, shall truly be confessed,

If there's a youth whose love I would command,

To whom resign my maiden heart and hand:

You are that youth to whose oft proferred vow,

Of Love and Constancy I answer now;

If unchanged for me alone you live,

Let your reply that fond assurance give.
