APPLE BLOSSOM TIME by JESSIE H. WIXOM

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.
