A Drop Fell on the Apple Tree --

A Drop Fell on the Apple Tree --

Another -- on the Roof --

A Half a Dozen kissed the Eaves --

And made the Gables laugh --

A few went out to help the Brook

That went to help the Sea --

Myself Conjectured were they Pearls --

What Necklace could be --

The Dust replaced, in Hoisted Roads --

The Birds jocoser sung --

The Sunshine threw his Hat away --

The Bushes -- spangles flung --

The Breezes brought dejected Lutes --

And bathed them in the Glee --

Then Orient showed a single Flag,

And signed the Fete away --
