Explore "With Two Spoons for Two Spoons" by Eugene Field on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
How trifling shall these gifts appear / Among the splendid many / That loving friends now send to cheer / Harvey and Ellen Jenney.
And yet these baubles symbolize / A certain fond relation / That well beseems, as I surmise, / This festive celebration.
Sweet friends of mine, be spoons once more, / And with your tender cooing / Renew the keen delights of yore -- / The rapturous bliss of wooing.
What though that silver in your hair / Tells of the years aflying? / 'T is yours to mock at Time and Care / With love that is undying.
In memory of this Day, dear friends, / Accept the modest token / From one who with the bauble sends / A love that can't be spoken.
