Darling,

I found you in HemansEditorial Note: The poem Eddy reproduces here is a stanza from “The Vaudois’ Wife” by Felicia Hemans (1793-1835). this morning; have not time to look up a pretty card and send a sentiment on this one

I bless thee for kind words and looksEditorial Note: The original line in the Hemans poem reads: “I bless thee for kind looks and words”

Showered on my path like dew,

For all the love in those deep eyes,

A gladness ever new!

For As Written: for the voice that ne'er to mine replied

But in kindly tones of cheer;

For one sweet spring of happinessEditorial Note: The original line in the Hemans poem reads: “For every spring of happiness”

My heart has tasted hereEditorial Note: The original line in the Hemans poem reads: “My soul hath tasted here!”.
