“Here is a shop of wonderment.
From every land has come a prize”
Trees and Other Poems (1914), Delicatessen
Context: 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.
