Loveliest of treesby A.E. Housman
|
| Loveliest of trees, the cherry now |
| Is hung with bloom along the bough, |
| And stands about the woodland ride |
| Wearing white for Eastertide. |
| Now, of my threescore years and ten, |
| Twenty will not come again, |
| And take from seventy springs a score, |
| It only leaves me fifty more. |
| And since to look at things in bloom |
| Fifty springs are little room, |
| About the woodlands I will go |
| To see the cherry hung with snow. |
