Quiver of love (c1868 to 1878)

Quiver of love c 1868 1878 greetings card

Greeting card believed to be from the Quiver of Love set, published by Marcus Ward & Co, and illustrated by Kate Greenaway.

The verse reads:

"The Spring awakes
And Winter takes
Its last adieu.
Bees softly hum,
And birds, long dumb,
Carol anew.

My Love and I
Together hie,
To watch the Spring:
And gently walk,
Or sit and talk,
And blithely sing."
