| The verse reads: "To My Love. My love is like the wild rose, That blooms in solitude, Her eyes are like the violets, Hid in the shady wood. Her voice is like the brooklet, That sings its own sweet tune, Her hair is like the sunshine, That floods the world of June. The wild wood and the brooksides, The flowers, she loves them well, And I love her more dearly, Than I have words to tell. E.S.F." For a similar card with fringe, see Image ID: 81830. |
