This song is considered the hymn of the country, but, in the fact, there isn’t one.

“ Would God I were the tender apple blossom 
That floats and falls from off the twisted bough 
To lie and faint within your silken bosom 
Within your silken bosom as that does now. 
Or would I were a little burnish'd apple 
For you to pluck me, gliding by so cold 
While sun and shade you robe of lawn will dapple 
Your robe of lawn, and you hair's spun gold. 
Yea, would to God I were among the roses 
That lean to kiss you as you float between 
While on the lowest branch a bud uncloses 
A bud uncloses, to touch you, queen. 
Nay, since you will not love, would I were growing 
A happy daisy, in the garden path 
That so your silver foot might press me going 
Might press me going even unto death. “
