( h, apples on tho apple-tree, Huw fair you look ! Eow thick yon be ' Some red, some yellow, and lome graj . Vou ripen slowly day by day. The Bun has touched you, and the rain. Tho calm, nnd then the hurrii me. The drouth bias dried you, aud the daw las drenchod ; and till you grew and grow. i Ui, apples on the orchard-tree, Speak to this heart, ita teacheie bo! Where'er I tind a settled place, There I should grow wlth patiënt face, Let bud yiehl room to blossom' unit, And that in turn'to fomiiug l'ruit, Below tlie surlace of the muid A secret sweetoniníi I wtrald iinil : And in tlie hcait's deep oore enwrought, Tho mystio seeds of strong love-thought. And by my neighbors 1 would stand. And tóucli thcin with a gentío hand. And I would not havo over-oare If I be high, or low, or where ; But I dosire, as time shall p!ls, A gatherer coming through the gras, With keen quick eye and ready touch To piek all fruit ere ripe too much ; With a broad basket on his arm To save me from old Winter's harm ; Then, at the last, in garner stored, An offering to the Irehard' Lord. - Chambers1 Journal. ííPtgan?(rps
