The Lover of Fruit

Such fruits have I had.
Seduced by the juice
Of the just ripe pare.
Oh yes, I have been there.

Sometimes I have been glad
At the fruits I have had.

Bough, laden with maiden
peach and pare
Calls, And how easily it falls
Into the hand of the lover of peach and pare.
Oh yes, I have been there.

Such fruits have I had.
Seduced by the juice
Of the just ripe pare.
