Goldfinch (1)/Come buy my Cherries

Come buy my Cherries.

⟨Come⟩ buy my cherries, beauteous lasses,
⟨Fresh⟩ from the garden pluck'd by me,
⟨All⟩ on a summers day so gay,
⁠Sweet fruit and flowers I cry.
⟨Come⟩ then, fair lassies, pray,
⁠And of poor Sally buy

⟨Come⟩ buy my roses, youthful lovers,
⟨And⟩ wave a garland for each maiden's hair.
⟨All⟩ on a summer’s day so gay,
⁠Oh! let not pleasure fly.
⟨Come⟩ then, fond lovers, pray,

⁠And of poor Sally buy,

Sigh not that blossoms are so fleeting,
But seize the treasure, though soon ’twill fade
Thus like a summer’s day so gay,
⁠Life’s bloom will gently fly,
Come then, young lovers, pray,
⁠And of poor Sally buy.
