To Ca Ha
What I Love.
I love to see thy gentle hand
Dispose with modest grace
The household things around thy home
And each thing in his place
And then thy own trim modest form
Is always neatly claid
Thou sure will make the tidiest
Wife that Husband ever had
Therefore I send you this
Hoping [ ? ]in time
For me to become
Your Valentime
