COME, MY DOLLY.

COME, MY DOLLY.

Come, my Dolly, come with me,Dance beneath the apple-tree.See the blossoms flying down,Wings of pink and rosy crown.Catch them, Dolly, in your gown,While the sun sees you and meDancing ’neath the apple-tree.Some day, Dolly, you will seeSnow upon the apple-tree;White wings then will flutter down,Covering leaves all dry and brown.But, my Dolly, do not frown;When spring comes again, you’ll seePink wings on the apple-tree.Lydia Avery Coonley-Ward.

Come, my Dolly, come with me,

Dance beneath the apple-tree.

See the blossoms flying down,

Wings of pink and rosy crown.

Catch them, Dolly, in your gown,

While the sun sees you and me

Dancing ’neath the apple-tree.

Some day, Dolly, you will seeSnow upon the apple-tree;White wings then will flutter down,Covering leaves all dry and brown.But, my Dolly, do not frown;When spring comes again, you’ll seePink wings on the apple-tree.

Some day, Dolly, you will see

Snow upon the apple-tree;

White wings then will flutter down,

Covering leaves all dry and brown.

But, my Dolly, do not frown;

When spring comes again, you’ll see

Pink wings on the apple-tree.
