Apple Blossom

Today it's the apple blossom fairy

The Song of the Apple Blossom Fairies

Up in the tree we see you, blossom-babies,
All pink and white;
We think there must be fairies to protect you,
From frost and blight,
Until, some windy day, in drifts of petals,
You take your flight.

You'll fly away! But if we wait with patience,
Someday we'll find
Here, in your place, full-grown and ripe, the apples
You left behind-
A goodly gift indeed from blossom-babies,
To human-kind.

Well a frost this morning and a chilly wind. Hope the fairies are well tucked up.
