An apple tree there groweth, @3Fly away, my heart, away;@1 An apple tree there groweth Within my father's close; @3So sweet,@1 Within my father's close. Oh, bright is every leaf thereon, @3Fly away, my heart, away;@1 Oh, bright is every leaf thereon And sweet the fruit that grows @3So sweet,@1 And sweet the fruit that grows. The King's three lovely daughters, @3Fly away, my heart, away;@1 The King's three lovely daughters Beneath its branches lay, @3So sweet,@1 Beneath its branches lay. The youngest wakens lightly, @3Fly away, my heart, away;@1 The youngest wakens lightly: My sister, here is day! @3So sweet, @1My sister, here is day! 'Tis but a star that's gilding, @3Fly away, my heart, away;@1 'Tis but a star that's gilding With its sweet light our love, @3So sweet,@1 With its sweet light our love. Our lovers ride to battle, @3Fly away, my heart, away;@1 Our lovers ride to battle Their love for us to prove, @3So sweet,@1 Their love for us to prove. And if they gain the battle, @3Fly away, my heart, away;@1 And if they gain the battle, Our love shall crown the day, @3So sweet,@1 Our love shall crown the day. Oh, let them win or let them fail, @3Fly away, my heart, away;@1 Oh, let them win or let them fail, Our love is theirs alway, @3So sweet,@1 Our love is theirs alway. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: LYMAN KING by EDGAR LEE MASTERS MUSIC by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET CONTRA MORTEM: THE SUMMER by HAYDEN CARRUTH BATTLE OF BRITAIN by CECIL DAY LEWIS A DISCRETE LOVE POEM by JAMES GALVIN WHAT WE SAID THE LIGHT SAID by JAMES GALVIN |
