Alabama State Fruit–Blackberry

THE SONG OF THE BLACKBERRY QUEEN

by Cicely Mary Barker

My berries cluster black and thick
For rich and poor alike to pick.
I'll tear your dress, and cling, and tease,
And scratch your hand and arms and knees.
I'll stain your fingers and your face,
And then I'll laugh at your disgrace.
But when the bramble-jelly's made,
You'll find your trouble well repaid.
