APPLE BLOSSOMS.
For Oh! thine odorous beauty,Fills heart and soul with bliss,'Twere worth a life of sighing,To feel her rapturous kiss.
I bury in thy beauty,Oh! blooms, my burning cheek,The throbbing tide of ecstacy,The joy I cannot speak.For every star in heaven,Burns deep with love-lit flame,And every zephyr whispers,To me, my darling's name.
Upon her snowy pillow,She sleeps and dreams of me,Oh! haste, Oh happy morrow,That I her face may see.I wonder if like me she lives,In glorious aureole of light,Because the morrow's sunshine brings,Our bridal morning bright.
