SI 



Come, let us plant the apple-tree ! 



Cleave the tough greensward with the spade; 



Wide let its hollow bed be made ; 



Then gently lay the roots, and then 



Sift the dark mould with tender care, 



And press it o'er them tenderly, 



As round the sleeping infant's feet 



We softly fold the cradle sheet. 



So plant we the apple-tree. 



— Bryant.
