February 14A Valentine
By Frank Dempster Sherman (18601916)A
There’s some one knocking at the door;
The chilling breezes make him smart;
His little feet are tired and sore.
Adown his cheeks the big tears start;
Awake, awake, O gracious heart,
There’s some one knocking at the door!
To honor, worship, and implore;
And lest, unwelcomed, he depart
With all his wise, mysterious lore,
Awake, awake, O gracious heart,
There’s some one knocking at the door!
