“In An Apple Tree
In September, when the apples were red,
To Belinda I said,
‘Would you like to go away
To Heaven, or stay
Here in this orchard full of trees
All your life?’
And she said, ‘If you please
I’ll stay here-where I know,
And the flowers grow.’ ”
“On the hill behind the barn, Johnny’s grandfather had planted a few apple trees. These were the only apple trees in the valley, and they were known as Orchard’s orchard.”
