Valentine by kate greenaway c 1868 1878 illustration

Valentine from the Melcomb Manor series, published by Marcus Ward & Co and illustrated by Kate Greenaway.

The verse reads;
"My love in her garden
Is soft voiced and tender,
O say, will she pardon
The message I send her?

The buds and the flowers
That blow round her feet,
The almond that showers
Pink petals sweet.

The doves softly cooing
The whispering wind,
O say, to my wooing,
"She is not unkind."
