Jeannie Marsh.

Topics: classic

Jeannie Marsh of Cherry Valley,     At whose call the muses rally;         Of all the nine none so divine     As Jeannie Marsh of Cherry Valley.     She minds me of her native scenes,         Where she was born among the cherries;     Of peaches, plums, and nectarines,         Pears, apricots, and ripe strawberries.     Jeannie Marsh of Cherry Valley,     In whose name the muses rally;         Of all the nine none so divine     As Jeannie Marsh of Cherry Valley.     A sylvan nymph of queenly grace,         A goddess she in form and feature;     The sweet expression of the place,         A dimple in the smile of nature.
