ELECTRIC VALENTINE.
(Telegraph Clerk ♂ to Telegraph Clerk ♀.)
“‘The tendrils of my soul are twined
With thine, though many a mile apart;
And thine in close-coiled circuits wind
Around the magnet of my heart.
“‘Constant as Daniell, strong as Grove;
Seething through all its depths like Smee;
My heart pours forth its tide of love,
And all its circuits close in thee.
