A Book of Nursery Songs and Rhymes/Game Rhymes/IX. ROSY APPLE

by Sabine Baring-Gould

Rosy apple, mellow pear,
Bunch of roses she shall wear;
Gold and silver by her side,
She shall be my bonny bride.
Take her by the lily-white hand,
Lead her over the sea and land,
Give her kisses, one, two, three,
This shall be true love to me.
