First Line: Our apple tree - we loved it well
Last Line: A reverenced thing it be.
Subject(s): Cross, The
Our apple tree -- we loved it well
For many a passing year,
Boughs naked or in leaf and bud,
Or mellow fruited cheer.
And we two, man and wife, one day
Found storm had laid it low --
A shattered thing upon the ground,
Never again to grow.
And from the Bole he made a cross
Like one at Calvary;
And on an altar in our house
A reverenced thing it be.
