Goblin Market

"Morning and evening
Maids heard the goblins cry:
“Come buy our orchard fruits,
Come buy, come buy:
Apples and quinces,
Lemons and oranges,
Plump unpeck’d cherries,
Melons and raspberries,
Bloom-down-cheek’d peaches,
Swart-headed mulberries,
Wild free-born cranberries,
Crab-apples, dewberries,
Pine-apples, blackberries,
Apricots, strawberries;—
All ripe together
In summer weather,—"

by Christina Rosetti

Does anyone remember this wonderful descriptive poem? I remember reading it at school and adoring the mouth-watering descriptions of fruit.  Here is a link to the whole poem in case anyone would like to read it: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44996/goblin-market
Literature, Biology and art were my favourite subjects during my school years.

A wonderful choice of fruit at the market this morning!
