don't know what to say we say nothing" Gosh

Did no one see her beautifully STAND,
Holding an apple in her upturned hand!
II was a large pale yellow one, think,
Burned on its sun-side TO a dusky PINK
Still family green and young, ike Ewes own
thought, -.
Deep in the hollows where Its stem was caught
Her brown hand curved in eagerly to hold
Its pale and luminous pink and green and soio-
Her fingers were the petals of mower
Come to it's opening within the nour
And resting on its stalk of slender wrist
To clasp a drop of iridescent mist
Her so-Iong empty hand had found us mate
In her left hand she held its lovely weight,
Its satisfying shape-and then in both
She pressed and Graded it, being SO loath
To lose this perfect thing which she mad 1ounos
ColorfuI living, fair, and smooth, and round
To fit and fill her empty, followed palm,
And bring her restless seeking into calm
This apple she would keep her very own
In Eden where she had been so alone.
Even with Adam, who could never meet
Her friendIiness nor comprehend how sweet
was that dim yearning which she had for him.
Her ewes went from her hands up to the limb
Which had been lightened by the apples fall
With her right hand she touched tive was
tall
Holding the apple meanwhile to her breast.
Being a tree with fruit, she said, rs best
Then she remembered Adam-he must know
The warmth and rapture of the things that
grow!
Adam was different-would he understand?
Trembling she laid the apple in his hand.
