Flowers-Apple Blossoms: Quotations from Cyclopedia of Practical Quotations

Apple Blossoms. Underneath an apple-tree Sat a maiden and her lover; And the thoughts within her he Yearned, in silence, to discover. Round them danced the sunbeams bright, Green the grass-lawn stretched before them, While the apple blossoms white Hung in rich profusion o'er them.— WILL CARLETON — Apple Blossoms.

Of all the months that fill the year, Give April's month to me, For earth and sky are then so filled With sweet variety. The apple blossoms' shower of pearl, Though blent with rosier hue, As beautiful as woman's blush, As evanescent too.— L. E. LANDON — Apple Blossoms.

All day in the green, sunny orchard, When May was a marvel of bloom, I followed the busy bee-lovers Down paths that were sweet with perfume.— MARGARET E. SANGSTER — Apple

Blossoms. Aquilegia. Aquilegia Canadensis. The aquilegia sprinkled on the rocks A scarlet rain; the yellow violet Sat in the chariot of its leaves; the phlox Held spikes of purple flame in meadows wet, And all the streams with vernal-scented reed Were fringed, and streaky bells of miskodeed.— BAYARD TAYLOR — Home and Travel. Mon-Da-Min. St. 17.

Arbutus, Trailing. Epigea repens. Darlings of the forest! Blossoming alone When Earth's grief is sorest For her jewels gone- Ere the last snow-drift melts your tender buds have blown.— ROSE T. COOKE — Trailing Arbutus.

The Mayflowers bloomed and perished, And the sweet June roses died!— JULIA C. R. DORR — Margery Grey. St. 18.

Now the tender, sweet arbutus Trails her blossom-clustered vines, And the many-fingered cinquefoil In the shadow hollow twines.— DORA READ GOODALE — May.

Pure and perfect, sweet arbutus Twines her rosy-tinted wreath.— ELAINE GOODALE — The First Flowers.
