I Have an Orchard

by Christopher Marlowe

Christopher Marlowe

I have an orchard that hath store of plums,
Brown almonds, services, ripe figs and dates,
Dewberries, apples, yellow oranges,
A garden where are bee hives full of honey,
Musk-roses, and a thousand sort of flowers,
And in the midst doth run a silver stream,
Where thou shalt see the red-gilled fishes leap,
White swans, and many lovely water fowls...
