<h3><i>The Apple-Tree</i></h3>
<div class="poem"><div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">The apple-tree is white with snow,<br/></span>
<span class="i2">My heart is empty as the day;<br/></span>
<span class="i0">The white hours indolently go<br/></span>
<span class="i2">Graveward, because my love’s away.<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">Months lag, then spring and love’s return—<br/></span>
<span class="i2">Yet once again I seem to see,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Flushed with delight, as kisses burn,<br/></span>
<span class="i2">White snow upon the apple-tree.<br/></span></div>
