First Line: APPLE ORCHARDS, THE TREES ALL COVER'D WITH BLOSSOMS
Last Line: THE ASPIRING LILAC BUSHES WITH PROFUSE PURPLE OR WHITE FLOWERS.
Subject(s): SPRING;

Apple orchards, the trees all cover'd with blossoms;
Wheat fields carpeted far and near in vital emerald green;
The eternal, exhaustless freshness of each early morning;
The yellow, golden, transparent haze of the warm afternoon sun;
The aspiring lilac bushes with profuse purple or white flowers.
