IN AN APPLE TREE.
IN September, when the apples are red,
To Belinda I said,
“Would you like to go away
To Heaven, or stay
Here in this orchard full of trees
All your life?” And she said, “If you please
I’ll stay here – where I know,
And the flowers grow.”
This vintage storybook image and poem, In An Apple Tree, is from Marigold Garden by Kate Greenaway, circa 1892. Click on image to enlarge.
Lovely as always – just can’t seem to get enough of Kate Greenaway!
Your site is a treasure box full of wonderful things!!!!!!!!!!
You’re welcome Elaine. When I was working on this one, I remembered that you like Kate Greenaway images.
I’m delighted to know that you think so Pat, thank you!
