SEPTEMBER 15, 1952 



When an apple tree is ready for the world to come and eat 

 There isn't any structure in the land that's got it beat. 



There's nothing man has builded with the beauty or the charm 

 That can touch the simple grandeur of the monarch of the farm. 



There's never any picture from a human being's brush 



That has ever caught the redness of a single apple's blush. 



— Edgar Guest
