Apples I didn't pick upon some bough.

I skimmed this morning from the drinking trough3 l1 c' Y5 @2 e" h

My instep arch not only keeps the ache,9 M1 u& M+ U% p% I6 s5 V9 ]+ R4 u
It keeps the pressure of a ladder-round.
' A: z6 b9 c' M3 `+ U/ c# \ I feel the ladder sway as the boughs bend.8 Z' k; N r8 e4 R* C1 N6 e
And I keep hearing from the cellar bin, A: [( d0 M3 i& m9 ?5 E3 Q

长梯穿过树顶,竖起两个尖端

我是在打磕睡啦。0 x, {0 b2 z+ E: D, s! E3 I
我揉揉眼睛,5 j7 T- L. W+ A8 o( g" {) Q
