To Eunice
Brow eyes of fair Hispania;
Black hair of Indie Isle;
Inheriting of old Britannia
—Not your langourous Latin smile,—
But your stubborn wilful spirit,—
Your spunky saucy style.
Sweet lips—of kisses Elysian:—
More fragrant than “Parfume Vantine.”
Chic grace—of essence Parisian:
Hot temper that most matches mine:—
True heart;—filled with love that is precious:
Why you are my Valentine!
