With Two Spoons For Two Spoons

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.
