"When I sound the fairy call,
Gather here in silent meeting,
Chin to knee on the orchard wall,
Cooled with dew and cherries eating.
Merry, merry, take a cherry,
Mine are sounder, mine are rounder,
Mine are sweeter, for the eater
When the dews fall, and you'll be fairies all.
Cherry Time, by Robert Graves - English poet and scholar (1895 - 1985)
