    Original Poem:
    My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree
    Toward heaven still.
    And there's a barrel that I didn't fill
    Beside it, and there may be two or three
    Apples I didn't pick upon some bough.
    But I am done with apple-picking now.
    Essence of winter sleep is on the night,
    The scent of apples; I am drowsing off.
    I cannot shake the shimmer from my sight
    I got from looking through a pane of glass
    I skimmed this morning from the water-trough,
    And held against the world of hoary grass.
    It melted, and I let it fall and break.
    But I was well
    Upon my way to sleep before it fell,
    And I could tell
    What form my dreaming was about to take.
    Magnified apples appear and reappear,
    Stem end and blossom end,
    And every fleck of russet showing clear.
    My instep arch not only keeps the ache,
    It keeps the pressure of a ladder-round.
    And I keep hearing from the cellar-bin
    That rumbling sound
    Of load on load of apples coming in.
    For I have had too much
    Of apple-picking; I am overtired
    Of the great harvest I myself desired.
    There were ten thousand thousand fruit to touch,
    Cherish in hand, lift down, and not let fall,
    For all
    That struck the earth,
    No matter if not bruised, or spiked with stubble,
    Went surely to the cider-apple heap
    As of no worth.
    One can see what will trouble
    This sleep of mine, whatever sleep it is.
    Were he not gone,
    The woodchuck could say whether it's like his
    Long sleep, as I describe its coming on,
    Or just some human sleep.
