Explore "There is an Orchard" by Gilbert Parker on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
There is an orchard beyond the sea, / And high is the orchard wall; / And ripe is the fruit in the orchard tree -- / Oh, my love is fair and tall!
There is an orchard beyond the sea, / And joy to its haven hies; / And a white hand opens its gate to me -- / Oh, deep are my true love's eyes!
There is an orchard beyond the sea, / Its flowers the brown bee sips; / But the stateliest flower is all for me -- / Oh, sweet are my true love's lips!
There is an orchard beyond the sea, / Where the soft delights do roam; / To the Great Delight I have bent my knee -- / Oh, good is my true love's home!
There is an orchard beyond the sea, / With a nest where the linnets hide; / Oh, warm is the nest that is built for me- / In my true love's heart I bide!
