REMEMBRANCE by GEORGE PARSONS LATHROP

First Line: UNDER THE APPLE BOUGH
Last Line: YOU ARE IN HEAVEN NOW.
UNDER the apple bough
Love, in a dream of leaves,
Dreamed we of love, as now, --
All that gives beauty or grieves.

Over the sad world then
Curved like the sky that bough;
I was in heaven then, --
You are in heaven now.
