TO A RED APPLE,
Oh, fruit with the bloom of an Irish maid
And scent that sends us back to
youthful years—
Brave times that had few interludes
of tears—
Pray tell me, are the trees
with blossoms sprayed
In that old orchard with its peaceful
shade?
Bright messenger from some fair
countryside,
What news have you of flocks and
fields
And brooks that brawl across green
meadows wide—
Where long, lush grass a constant
fragrance yields?
Does your rose luster echo but the
dawn
And do red robins hop upon the
lawn?
—Seabury Lawrence, in New York Times.
