„Here is a shop of wonderment.
From every land has come a prize“
— Joyce Kilmer, Trees and Other Poems
Trees and Other Poems (1914), Delicatessen
Kontext: Here is a shop of wonderment.
From every land has come a prize;
Rich spices from the Orient,
And fruit that knew Italian skies,
And figs that ripened by the sea
In Smyrna, nuts from hot Brazil,
Strange pungent meats from Germany,
And currants from a Grecian hill.
