UNDER THE APPLE TREE.
John rode off to the broomy lea,
And Maud and May went roaming,
But Harry climb'd up the apple tree,
And Ellie, she sat below to see
What good luck might be coming.
And Maud and May went roaming,
But Harry climb'd up the apple tree,
And Ellie, she sat below to see
What good luck might be coming.
Harry found apples that pleased him well,
And he pick'd them merrily humming;
But some through his fingers slipp'd and fell,
And Ellie laugh'd out like a silver bell,
To see the good luck coming.

To see the good luck coming.
When John came home from his ride that day,
And Maud and May, at gloaming,
And they saw little Ellie munching away,
“To morrow,” they cried, “with you we'll stay,
And watch for the good luck coming.”
