Oh, if it be to choose and call thee mine,
Love, thou art every day my Valentine!
—Thomas Hood

Tomorrow is Saint Valentine’s day,
All in the morning betime,
And I a maid at your window,
To be your Valentine.
—William Shakespeare (from Hamlet)

Oh! little loveliest lady mine,
What shall I send for your valentine?
Summer and flowers are far away;
Gloomy old Winter is king today;
Buds will not blow, and sun will not shine:
What shall I do for a valentine?
I’ve searched the gardens all through and through
For a bud to tell of my love so true;
But buds are asleep, and blossoms are dead
And the snow beats down on my poor little head.
—Laura Elizabeth Richards

Must, bid the Morn awake!
Sad Winter now declines,
Each bird doth choose a mate;
This day’s Saint Valentine’s.
For that good bishop’s sake
Get up and let us see
What beauty it shall be
That Fortune us assigns.
—Michael Drayton

Regarding my identity,
A secret, shall be mine.
That’s how things are meant to be,
My dear Valentine!
—David Thomas
