Verses from Maoriland/St. Valentine's Day

​

ST. VALENTINE’S DAY

Red clover bloweth
    Subtle and sweet;
The calm river floweth
    Close to my feet:
Ever and onward
    The dark currents sweep
Steadily downward,
    Silent and deep.

So my heart ever
    Turns to its mate;
Say, can we sever,
    Is it not Fate?
As the great river
    Sweeps to the sea,
So my thoughts ever
    Flow, Love, to thee!
