Merkin Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 One of the most famous Valentine's Day poems appeared in Gammer Gurton's Garland (1784), a collection of verse and nursery rhyme: The rose is red, the violet's blue, The honey's sweet, and so are you.Thou art my love and I am thine;I drew thee to my Valentine:The lot was cast and then I drew, And Fortune said it shou'd be you Wish I could tell you who wrote it, but that seems to be lost to the ages. Thanks, though, to Garrison Keillor and his research staff at The Writers’ Almanac for coming up with the source. HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY! James Link to comment
