First see those ample melons brindled o'er	A
With mingled green and brown is all the rind	B
For they are ripe and mealy at the core	C
And saturate with the nectar of their kind	B
	-
And here their fellows of the marsh are set	D
Covering their sweetness with a crumpled skin	E
Pomegranates next flame red without and yet	D
With vegetable crystals stored within	E
	-
Then mark these brilliant oranges of which	F
A by gone Poet fancifully said	G
Their unplucked globes the orchard did enrich	F
Like Lolden lamps in a green nilht of shade	H
	-
With these are lemons that are even more	C
Golden than they and which adorn our Rhyme	I
As did rough pendants of barbaric ore	C
Some pillared temple of the olden time	I
	-
And here are peaches with their ruddy cheeks	J
And ripe transparency Here nectarines bloom	K
All mottled as with discontinuous streaks	J
And spread a fruity fragrance through the room	K
	-
With these are cherries mellow to the stone	L
Into such ripeness bath the summer nursed them	M
The velvet pressure of the tongue alone	L
Against the palate were enough to burst them	M
	-
Here too are plums like edible rubies glowing	N
The language of lush summer's Eden theme	O
Even through the skin how temptingly keeps showing	N
Their juicy comfort a rich clouded gleam	O
	-
Here too are figs pears apples plucked in haste	P
Our summer treat judiciously to vary	Q
With apricots so exquisite in taste	P
And yellow as the breast of a canary	Q
	-
And luscious strawberries all faceted	R
With glittering lobes and all the lovelier seen	S
In contrast with the loquat's duller red	G
And vulgar gooseberry's unlustrous green	S
	-
And lastly bunches of rich blooded grapes	T
Whose vineyard bloom even yet about them clings	U
Though ever in the handling it escapes	T
Like the fine down upon a moth's bright wings	U
	-
Each kind is piled in order in the Basket	V
Which we might well imagine now to be	Q
Transmuted into a great golden casket	V
Entreasuring Pomona's jewelry	Q
