To my valentine

Sister Jean is very fair,
In very heart her face I dear;
She is very dear to me,

Though I oft must absent be.
Ever have I loved her praise
Round this college all these days.

Jesus are I where I learn
Ever here her heart doth yearn.
Am I bold. O lady mine,
Now to claim my Valentine.
