Explanation:

"After Apple-Picking" is a poem by Robert Frost. The speaker is exhausted after picking apples, and he feels he is about to fall asleep. It is at this moment that the poem takes on a dreamlike tone. It's as if the speaker is only half-awake, already predicting the dreams that are about to come. He will see the apples in his dreams - their color and scent will remain with him once he is no longer awake. He will even see and hear them becoming cider.

[...]

Upon my way to sleep before it fell,

And I could tell

What form my dreaming was about to take.

Magnified apples appear and disappear,

Stem end and blossom end,

And every fleck of russet showing clear.

[...]

For all

That struck the earth,

No matter if not bruised or spiked with stubble,

Went surely to the cider-apple heap

[...]

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.
