On Mrs Mendez' Birthday, Who Was Born On Valentine's Day

Thine is the gentle day of love,
  When youths and virgins try their fate;
When, deep retiring to the grove,
  Each feathered songster weds his mate.

With tempered beams the skies are bright,
  Earth decks in smiles her pleasing face;
Such is the day that gave thee light,
  And speaks as such thy every grace.
