THE PEACH TREE ON THE SOUTHERN WALL
by Christina Rosetti (1830-1894)
The peach tree on the southern wall
Has basked so long beneath the sun,
Her score of peaches great and small
Bloom rosy, every one.
A peach for brothers, one for each,
A peach for you and a peach for me;
But the biggest, rosiest, downiest peach
For Grandmamma with her tea.
Such a simple, sweet “succulent” poem, almost like a nursery rhyme. Nice post!
