Explore "The Rambo-Tree" by James Whitcomb Riley on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
When Autumn shakes the rambo-tree -- / It's a long, sweet way across the orchard! -- / The bird sings low as the bumble-bee -- / It's a long, sweet way across the orchard! -- / The poor shote-pig he says, says he: / "When Autumn shakes the rambo-tree / There's enough for you and enough for me. " -- / It's a long, sweet way across the orchard.
_For just two truant lads like we_, / _When Autumn shakes the rambo-tree_ / _There's enough for you and enough for me_ -- / _It's a long, sweet way across the orchard_.
When Autumn shakes the rambo-tree -- / It's a long, sweet way across the orchard! -- / The mole digs out to peep and see -- / It's a long, sweet way across the orchard! -- / The dusk sags down, and the moon swings free, / There's a far, lorn call, "Pig-_gee_! 'Pig-_gee_!"
And two boys -- glad enough for three. -- / It's a long, sweet way across the orchard.
_For just two truant lads like we_, / _When Autumn shakes the rambo-tree_ / _There's enough for you and enough for me_ -- / _It's a long, sweet way across the orchard_.
