ORNING and evening

Maids heard the goblins cry

"Come buy our orchard fruits,

Come buy, come buy:

Apples and quinces,

Lemons and oranges,

Plump unpecked cherries,

Melons and raspberries.

Bloom-down-cheeked peaches,

Swart-headed mulberries.

Wild free-born cranberries,

Crab-apples, dewberries.

Pine-apples, blackberries.

Apricots, strawberries;—

All ripe together

In summer weather,—

Morns that pass by,

Fair eves that fly;

Come buy, come buy:
