CHERRIES by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: A HANDFUL OF CHERRIES
Last Line: OF CHERRIES TO PLUCK.
Subject(s): CHERRIES; FRUIT;
A handful of cherries
She gave me in passing,
The wizened old woman,
And wished me good luck --

And again I was dreaming,
A boy in the sunshine,
And life but an orchard
Of cherries to pluck.
