Text

A Drop Fell on the Apple Tree
by Emily Dickinson

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,
That went to help the sea.
Myself conjectured, Were they pearls,
What necklaces could be!

A spider
On this wondrous sea
A drop fell on the apple tree
