Rhyme Scheme: ABABCBCB DBDBEFEF GHGHHIJF KLKLAMAM N| Underneath an apple tree | A |
| Sat a dame of comely seeming | B |
| With her work upon her knee | A |
| And her great eyes idly dreaming | B |
| O'er the harvest acres bright | C |
| Came her husband's din of reaping | B |
| Near to her an infant wight | C |
| Through the tangled grass was creeping | B |
| - | |
| On the branches long and high | D |
| And the great green apples growing | B |
| Rested she her wandering eye | D |
| With a retrospective knowing | B |
| This she said the shelter is | E |
| Where when gay and raven headed | F |
| I consented to be his | E |
| And our willing hearts were wedded | F |
| - | |
| Laughing words and peals of mirth | G |
| Long are changed to grave endeavor | H |
| Sorrow's winds have swept to earth | G |
| Many a blossomed hope forever | H |
| Thunder heads have hovered o'er | H |
| Storms my path have chilled and shaded | I |
| Of the bloom my gay youth bore | J |
| Some has fruited more has faded | F |
| - | |
| Quickly and amid her sighs | K |
| Through the grass her baby wrestled | L |
| Smiled on her its father's eyes | K |
| And unto her bosom nestled | L |
| And with sudden joyous glee | A |
| Half the wife's and half the mother's | M |
| Still the best is left said she | A |
| I have learned to live for others | M |
