We'll dream 'neath the flowering lemon tree <br /> Just the two of us - no one else allowed. <br /> In your hair, I'll shake the blossoms from the boughs. <br /> II <br /> We'll dream 'neatht the flowering lemon tree- <br /> I'll spy your dimpled knee, <br /> As you pour tea-hot & spicy. <br /> III <br /> We'll return when the fruit hangs ripe from the tree- <br /> We'll bring lemon squash & rosey apple sauce; <br /> And play a game of ring toss. <br /> IV <br /> Death comes for the old lemon tree- <br /> We reminisce before our fire, <br /> And take tea with desire.<br /><br />Jane Pierritz<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dreaming-neath-the-flowering-lemon-tree/
