The peach Is over-mellow. and the apple

And there's honey. yes. there's honey in

Down the dusk of lonely garden aisles the
yellow leaf still clings.
And the grape upon the trellis is burst

There's bloom upon the mountain, and
there's mist upon the stream.
There's a light burns low in heaven that
