THE ArrIE TREE.

Apple trees bloom in the spring an'
not in the fall,
The fruit trees COTS ripe in the sum
NOR. after all. H.
IN the fall the leaves begin to drop
And the grasshoppers forget their
hop.
Then the tree has to stand there,
All through the winter, quite hare.
" hen in the spring the buds begin tt
peer.
And the grass underneath begins e
creep,
soon the blossoms begin to come,
Tho humming birds begin 10 hum;
When tho apples set ripe and nice
The children come as fast as mice;
soon tho frosts of autumn comes,
Driving the leaves to their homes.

Bringing hail and snow and rain;
Good bye old apple tree, good-hye;
Long may YOU live, before you die,
