Two Valentines

Edward S. Sorenson

 

            (To a Fortune-huntress.)
As moths among the flowers play
    In quest of honey,
So you pursue each night and day
    A search for money.

                (To a Flirt.)
Like Circe do you conquer hearts
With your alluring, subtle arts,
                Tho’ not accepting any;
Your beauteous looks will some day fade,
And you’ll become a shunn’d old maid
                Thro’ jilting one too many.

Edward S. Sorenson, Casino
