The love for her that brightly glows;

For it is hers alway, alway.

Whate'er the fickle world may say,

There's nought within its fair array

That for a moment could depose

My valentine.

Where'er the paths of life may stray,

'Mid valleys dark or gardens gay,

With holly wild or blushing rose,

Through summer's gleam or winter's snows,
