A valentine
Language: English 
Of all the hues I love the best,
     The whole world through,
The dearest and the loveliest,
     Is blue, blue, blue.

For-get-me-nots, the starry-eyed,
     The wild blue-bell,
Love in a mist, where fairies hide,
     And shy speed-well.

The winding stream, the seas, the skies,
     All these are blue,
And Heaven's blue, the lovely eyes
     That God gave you.
