Anna Cates
Remembrance
Under the apple tree you slept . . .
Love is stronger than death.
Beyond the vineyards where you wept,
Under the apple trees you slept.
Across the fragrant dew, you crept,
Reaching, at sunset, your final breath.
Under the apple tree you slept . . .
Love is stronger than death.
