Description

This embossed valentine has a hand written note in the centre which reads:

No rubies on the indian shore

Outshine thy noble mind mind

Its radiance far excels them all

And blesses humankind

A heart of heavenly purity

Is laid within thy breast

And even for the weary soul

It breathes some tone of rest.

St Valentin
