Apple Blossoms
 
Underneath an apple-tree
Sat a maiden and her lover;
And the thoughts within her he
Yearned, in silence, to discover.
Round them danced the sunbeams bright,
Green the grass-lawn stretched before them
While the apple blossoms white
Hung in rich profusion o’er them.
        Will Carleton—Apple Blossoms.		  1
The apple blossoms’ shower of pearl,
  Though blent with rosier hue,
As beautiful as woman’s blush,
  As evanescent too.
        L. E. Landon—Apple Blossoms.		  2
All day in the green, sunny orchard,
  When May was a marvel of bloom,
I followed the busy bee-lovers
  Down paths that were sweet with perfume.
        Margaret E. Sangster—Apple Blossoms.		  3
