My Valentine 

 I have a little valentine                        Целый день лицо мое искрилось от улыбки,

That someone sent to me.                   Ведь сегодня получила тайную открытку.

It’spinkandwhite                                 Обожатель предпочел остаться неизвестным,

Andredandblue                                        Но подарок от него выглядел прелестно!

And pretty as can be.                                       Нежно-розовая, вся из бархата       

Forget-me-nots                                                С бело-голубыми лепестками.

And tiny roses, too; and                                  Ибледно-резовымикружевами.                     

Such a lovely piece of lace,                              В самом центре Валентинки-

The very palest blue.                                                Сердце красное пылает:

And in the centre                                                   «Лишь с тобою быть желаю!».
