From A Shropshire Lad<\/i><\/h1>\n

II<\/h1>\n

Loveliest of Trees<\/h1>\n

Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
\nIs hung with bloom along the bough,
\nAnd stands about the woodland ride
\nWearing white for Eastertide.<\/p>\n

Now, of my threescore years and ten[1]<\/sup><\/a>,
\nTwenty will not come again,
\nAnd take from seventy springs a score,
\nIt only leaves me fifty more.<\/p>\n

And since to look at things in bloom
\nFifty springs are little room,
\nAbout the woodlands I will go
\nTo see the cherry hung with snow.<\/p>\n
