A Simple Love Spoon. . A gift for you my lovely The fairest maiden of our valley And a such a beauty to behold I carved thee a love spoon Out of a simple piece of wood I wish that it was gold But I be a simple peasant boy who’s poor And you be a milkmaid That my eyes and heart adore . A simple spoon but a token of my undying love For thou art an angel Sent from heaven up above This spoon is all I have I hope it’s good enough . One fine day I’ll go to the Americas Far across the seas And become a gentleman and man of means Just wait and see Then I’ll give all you want A fine dress and silk ribbons for your hair So you will look a fine lady At the next goose fair . Will you then wait for me my love Upon the meadow Under the shade of our special tree Where we first kissed and fell in love And you gave yourself to me. . Peter Dome©2020.
