Poems (Grossman)/In Acceptance of An Invitation to a May Party
IN ACCEPTANCE OF AN INVITATION TO A MAY PARTY
Anita Rice, My dear, good friend, To you, this brief reply, I send:—
I'll call, on the 2nd of May, at one,To join my friends in the "May pole" fun.
We'll dance, play, have a joyful timeThat can't quite be expressed in rhyme.
I do accept, with thanks galore;I'll surely come, let it shine or pour.
From your loving friend Ethel, this comes with a kiss,And I hope you won't take my poor poetry amiss.
April, 1914.
