A little boy and a little girl,
In an ecstasy of bliss,
Said the little boy to the little girl,
'Please give me just one kiss.'
The girl drew back in great surprise,
'You're a stranger sir,' said she.
'And I will give you just one kiss,
When apples grow on a lilac tree.'
The boy was very sad at heart;
She was the only one.
The girl felt quite remorseful
At the terrible wrong she had done.
So bright and early on the very next morn,
He was quite surprised to see,
His little sweetheart, standing in the garden,
Tying apples on a lilac tree.
