Cutest Hubby and I are hosting family and friends today in celebration of a special day .... In all the preparation this poem kept coming to mind ...enjoy your Sunday.
Brown Penny by William Butler Yeats
I whispered, 'I am too young,
'And then, 'I am old enough';
Wherefore I threw a penny To find out if I might love.
'Go and love, go and love, young man,If the lady be young and fair.
'Ah, penny, brown penny, brown penny,
I am looped in the loops of her hair.
O love is the crooked thing,There is nobody wise enough
To find out all that is in it,
For he would be thinking of love
Till the stars had run away
And the shadows eaten the moon.
Ah, penny, brown penny, brown penny,
One cannot begin it too soon.
