Wedding Cards, John Everett Millais (1854)
Wedding Cards
Happy to respond that I will attend
Interested in what remains to pick
But a party of one saddened to send
Better than spending time in my attic
Wonderful this couple found each other
Joining together in matrimony
A bevy of kisses they shall smother
With an out pouring love to fill a sea
Restraining their eagerness is a chore
Being close together their hearts do swell
Their detailed differences to explore
There’s ample time after the wedding bell
Forever recipient of a card
Once on a card do I want to be starred
