Underneath The Spreading Chestnut Tree

Underneath the spreading chestnut tree
I loved him and he loved me
There I used to sit up on his knee
‘Neath the spreading chestnut tree
There beneath the boughs we used to meet
All his kisses were so sweet
All the little birdies went “tweet-tweet”
‘Neath the spreading chestnut tree
Underneath the spreading chestnut tree
There he said he’d marry me
Now you oughta see our family
‘Neath the spreading chestnut tree!
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 – 1832)
