Cherry Hill

Cherry Hill on high, exhibiting her splendor,

Boasting her charming view, dazzling the eyes

At sunrise or at sunset.

You will behold her at her best,

And during the course of the day

Her extraordinary beauty she displays.

Beauty that upstages the neighboring view.

Cherry Hill on high, where many are conceived

And lots of fair maidens have been deceived.

While cherries are being reaped

Upon this forever charming hill

Twinkling stars, with their lights gleaming.

Roaring cars, with their headlights beaming,

Some hiding under the shadow of the night,

Playing lovers songs, and wishing upon

Each shooting star they see.

That their union will last forever.

Some soon to regret the fruit they yield,

Some conceiving while being deceived.

Wishing they could reclaim the fruit

They allowed to be picked on Cherry Hill,

And cursed the hill for their visit

And the virtue they have lost.
