Cherry-Ripe, I Cry

Here is a new song that will be part of a song cycle entitled, To Julia.
All the texts are based of Robert Herrick's poems to Julia.

Here is the text:

CHERRY-RIPE.

CHERRY-RIPE, ripe, ripe, I cry,
Full and fair ones ; come and buy.
If so be you ask me where
They do grow, I answer : There,
Where my Julia's lips do smile ;
There's the land, or cherry-isle,
Whose plantations fully show
All the year where cherries grow.

- Robert Herrick

Some of you may remember Julia's Voice., which will also be part of the cycle and kind of got the idea of a cycle of Julia in my head.

Enjoy! Comments are always welcome!

-Scott.
