THE APPLE TREE CROSS, by FLORENCE VAN FLEET LYMAN First Line: Our apple tree - we loved it well Last Line: A reverenced thing it be. Subject(s): Cross, The | |||
Our apple tree -- we loved it well For many a passing year, Boughs naked or in leaf and bud, Or mellow fruited cheer. And we two, man and wife, one day Found storm had laid it low -- A shattered thing upon the ground, Never again to grow. And from the Bole he made a cross Like one at Calvary; And on an altar in our house A reverenced thing it be. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SIGN OF THE CROSS by JOHN HENRY NEWMAN CRUCIFIXION TO THE WORLD BY THE CROSS OF CHRIST by ISAAC WATTS ON BEARING THE CROSS by JOHN BYROM THE CRUCIFIX by ADELBERT VON CHAMISSO EASTER by ANNA BUNSTON DE BARY HEAL MY HANDS! by ANNA BUNSTON DE BARY GOD'S CROSS by MARTIN E.
