Jeannie Marsh.

George Pope Morris

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.
