Bread and cherries (Mare, set by I. Gurney, J. Rogers) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


"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.
