Come to the glowing cherries, come to the bright black-berries
Draping the orchard {fence,
Come to the apples blushing, come to the nectar flushing
The pear's luxuriance;
Apricots ripe and yellow, peaches juicy and mellow
Plums in their leafy tents.

Apricots ripe and yellow, peaches juicy and mellow
Plums in their leafy tents.
Come, 'tis the voice of the blue-bird, come to the fruitful orchard
Come, 'tis the warbler's song,
Come, 'tis the blue-jay calling, come, 'tis the grosbeak trilling
The orchard boughs among,
Come, 'tis the bees inviting, buzzing, sipping, alighting
Midst the feasting, feathered throng.
