APPLES
Fi KNOW a tree where apples grow With grasses flourishing below; And bees hang heavy on the air And quiet growth engenders there. Sauntering before late lunch, Treading good orchard ground I munch The inviting apples hanging low To hands incurious to know Eve's fatal fall (and all her wariness) -And toss my applecores with airiness. (Newton passing before my eye Notes, with gravity where windfalls lie.) Back in the house I praise the tree Whose little apples comfort me: My host, aghast, cries "Oh good Lord, They should go through the Apple Board!"
