by Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830 - 1894)
The peach tree on the southern wall
Language: English
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.
