Alternate Author Name(s): Hinkson, Katharine Tynan
Subject(s): Apples; August; Fruit; Harvest; Summer
DEAD heat and windless air,
And silence over all;
Never a leaf astir,
But the ripe apples fall;
Plums are purple-red,
Pears amber and brown;
Thud! in the garden-bed!
Ripe apples fall down.
Air like a cider-press
With the bruised apples' scent;
Low whistles express
Some sleepy bird's content;
Still world and windless sky,
A mist of heat o'er all;
Peace like a lullaby,
And the ripe apples fall.
