Thomas Humphry Ward, ed. The English Poets. 1880–1918.rnVol. II. The Seventeenth Century: Ben Jonson to Dryden

Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

Cherry-Ripe

CHERRY-RIPE, ripe, ripe, I cry,

Full and fair ones; come, and buy:

If so be you ask me where

They do grow? I answer, there

Where my Julia’s lips do smile;—

There ’s the land, or cherry-isle;

Whose plantations fully show

All the year where cherries grow.
