BREAD AND CHERRIES by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE

Poet Analysis

First Line: CHERRIES, RIPE CHERRIES!'
Last Line: TO EAT WITH THEIR BREAD.
'Cherries, ripe cherries!'
The old woman cried,
In her snowy white apron,
And basket beside;
And the little boys came,
Eyes shining, cheeks red,
To buy bags of cherries
To eat with their bread.
