Reminiscences, in Prose and Verse | ||
On an Apple-tree full of blossom, Sept. 11th
Where shivering through the leafy shade
September breathes a gloom,
Lo! yonder apple-tree arrayed
In all its vernal bloom!
September breathes a gloom,
Lo! yonder apple-tree arrayed
In all its vernal bloom!
Say, did Pomona bid it blow
At Meliora's suit?
Portentous in its lovely glow,
Behold forbidden fruit.
At Meliora's suit?
Portentous in its lovely glow,
Behold forbidden fruit.
59
Then, Meliora! with thine hair
Such blossoms if thou weave;
Alas! unweeting girl! beware
The fate of Mother Eve.
Such blossoms if thou weave;
Alas! unweeting girl! beware
The fate of Mother Eve.
