A. E. Housman Poem

Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough,
and stands about the woodland ride
Wearing white at Eastertide

Julie Magers

           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.
National Geo
May you be blessed by the joy of looking at things in bloom!

From, Gwen
