Like pearls on young maidens, they hang from each tree
Imbued with the rich verdant soil of coastal Amalfi
On the tongue first acid, then salt and now sweet
A close harmony of flavour with which no fruit can compete
Dressed in your nectar, you make shy leaves sing
Or dipped in your essence, you awaken any dull thing
Piled high in a fruit bowl, you bring summer inside
Carrying us on the back of your scent, to the Amalfi hillside
