Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDECE AFCFGECE HIBIBJCJ KLKLCMCM ANCNCECEIn your mother's apple orchard | A |
Just a year ago last spring | B |
Do you remember Yvonne | C |
The dear trees lavishing | B |
Rain of their starry blossoms | D |
To make you a coronet | E |
Do you ever remember Yvonne | C |
As I remember yet | E |
- | |
In your mother's apple orchard | A |
When the world was left behind | F |
You were shy so shy Yvonne | C |
But your eyes were calm and kind | F |
We spoke of the apple harvest | G |
When the cider press is set | E |
And such like trifles Yvonne | C |
That doubtless you forget | E |
- | |
In the still soft Breton twilight | H |
We were silent words were few | I |
Till your mother came out chiding | B |
For the grass was bright with dew | I |
But I know your heart was beating | B |
Like a fluttered frightened dove | J |
Do you ever remember Yvonne | C |
That first faint flush of love | J |
- | |
In the fulness of midsummer | K |
When the apple bloom was shed | L |
Oh brave was your surrender | K |
Though shy the words you said | L |
I was glad so glad Yvonne | C |
To have led you home at last | M |
Do you ever remember Yvonne | C |
How swiftly the days passed | M |
- | |
In your mother's apple orchard | A |
It is grown too dark to stray | N |
There is none to chide you Yvonne | C |
You are over far away | N |
There is dew on your grave grass Yvonne | C |
But your feet it shall not wet | E |
No you never remember Yvonne | C |
And I shall soon forget | E |
