19th century Valentine (c1830 to 1850) 6

19th century valentine c1830 1850

"Oh, could I hear thee once declare,
That fond affection lives for me;
Oh, could I once delighted share,
The sweet return of love from thee.

I, who no other object know,
Which could my heart from thee estrange,
Confess a love which joy or woe,
Or life or death could never change."
