In Forsyth Street the peddlers sell you peaches for a penny. They're big and rich and ripe and cheap; but cheaper far than any Is Beauty! Oh! it's cheap as cheap, it takes a glance to buy it! -- And if you doubt it come with me to Forsyth Street and try it! Oh, come, come and try it! It's cheaper there than any -- In Forsyth Street where peddlers sell you peaches for a penny! Then let us stand by Litowicz who hawks a miscellany Of cheapest wares, of plums and pears and peaches for a penny! For there the Jewish maidens go to spend their money gaily; And Judah goes at noon, she does, and Judah goes there daily. Oh, Judah goes there daily! It's cheaper there than any -- In Forsyth Street where peddlers sell you peaches for a penny! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN TALL GRASS by CARL SANDBURG LET THE LIGHT ENTER (THE DYING WORDS OF GOETHE) by FRANCES ELLEN WATKINS HARPER MESSMATES by HENRY JOHN NEWBOLT THE WINDOW; OR, THE SONG OF THE WRENS: MARRIAGE MORNING by ALFRED TENNYSON BRITANNIA'S PASTORALS: BOOK 3.
