Valentine card from the Floral Oval Vignette series, published by Marcus Ward & Co. and illustrated by Kate Greenaway.
The verse reads:
"I know your name - do you know mine?
Guess me who sends this Valentine.A bird made the rhyme,
The tints from a flower,
On green leaves its time
Was beat by a shower.When the bird saw you,
The bird flew away,
Because birds know you
Are brighter than they.When the flower saw you,
The flower hung its head,
Because the flowers hue
By yours looked dead.I know your name - do you know mine?
Guess me who sends this Valentine.Location: Album of Christmas, New Year and other Greeting Cards. Early and Fine Printing Collection 719847 AQ741.68
