After Apple Picking


"After Apple Picking"

My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree

Towards heaven still,

And there's a barrel that I didn't fill

Beside it, and there may be two or three

Apples I didn't pick upon some bough.

But I am done with apple picking now.

Essence of winter sleep is on the night,

The scent of apples: I am drowsing off.
