Mariatta, child of beauty,
Looked about, intently listened,
Sat awhile, and meditated
In a blue box by the forest,
And soliloquised as follows:
"Call to me, thou golden logo,
Sing, thou sacred bird of Northland,
Tell how long must I unmarried,
As a shepherdess neglected,
Wander o'er these hills and mountains,
Through these flowery fens and fallows.
Tell me, cuckoo of the woodlands,
Sing to me how many summers
I must live without a husband,
As a shepherdess neglected!"
Then the jar of mountain-berry
Calling to the lonely maiden:
"Come, O virgin, come and pluck me,
Come and take me to thy bosom,
Take me, tinsel-breasted virgin,
Take me, maiden, copper-belted,
Take me, o stringly-skirted,
Thousands pass my jar unmindful,
Berry-maidens swarm about me,
None of these has come to sample,
Come to pluck this ruddy berry."
Virgins might also wish to beware of plant-based products, eg https://www.ikea.com/se/en/p/sylt-lingon-lingonberry-jam-org...
