First Line: The promise of these fragrant flowers
Last Line: And send this snowy spray to thee.
Subject(s): Apple Trees; Holidays; Trees
THE promise of these fragrant flowers,
The fruit that 'neath these blossoms lies
Once hung, they say, in Eden's bowers,
And tempted Eve in Paradise.
O fairest daughter of Eve's blood,
Lest her misprision thine should be,
I've nipped temptation in the bud
And send this snowy spray to thee.
