A Drop fell on the Apple Tree --

A Drop fell on the Apple Tree --
Another -- on the Roof --
A Half a Dozen kissed the Eaves --
And made the Gables laugh --

A few went out to helP the Brook
Who[^a1]That went to help the Sea --
Myself Conjectured were they Pearls --
What Necklaces could be --

[^a1: Who | Who]

The Dust replaced, in Hoisted Roads --
The Birds jocoser sung --
The Sunshine threw his Hat away --
The Orchards --[^a2]Bushes -- spangles flung --

[^a2: Orchards -- | Orchards --]

The Breezes brought dejected Lutes --
And bathed them in the Glee --
The East put out a single Flag[^a3]Then Orient showed a single Flag,
And signed the Fete away --

[^a3: The East put out a single Flag | The East put out a single Flag]
