LINES WITH A WEDDING PRESENT by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE TONGS I SEND ACCEPTANCE WAIT
Last Line: THE SWEETS TO FIND MUST BE YOUR TASK.

The tongs I send acceptance wait,
To greet you in your married state.
Where is the sugar? should you ask;
The sweets to find must be your task.
