First Line: Apple blossoms softly falling
Last Line: Yellow water lilies lie.
Subject(s): Nature; Summer
Apple blossoms softly falling
On the air so sweet,
And the church bells calling
In the valley at my feet.
Rose and myrtle blooms surround me
All a-tremble in soft breeze,
Buttercups and pansies purple,
Nod and curtsy to the trees.
Overhead white clouds go sailing
'Cross a sunlit, summer sky.
On the river's bosom, trailing,
Yellow water lilies lie.
