“Snow Valentine,” Friend, Feb. 1979, inside back cover

Snow Valentine

I carved a valentine of snow.

The sun came out and made it glow.

The moon came out and made it shine

Like a silver valentine.

The light made shadows on the words

Where I’d thrown the bread for birds.

The sparrows pecked a new design,

Dining on their valentine.
