Poet Analysis

First Line: OH, SOLITARY, BLOW!
Last Line: FAIR BOUGHS BY THE ROADSIDE.
Subject(s): APPLE TREES; TREES;

OH, solitary, blow!
Color of rose and snow;
Blow, strange, new-budded tree,
All vagrant with the bee.
Oh, dear for old-time's sake!
Oh, dear for old heart-break!
Fair boughs of April-tide,
Fair boughs by the roadside.
