00 Loveliest of trees, the cherry now 02 br
00 Is hung with bloom along the bough, 02 br
00 And stands about the woodland ride 02 br
00 Wearing white for Eastertide. 02 br
02 br
00 Now of my threescore years and ten, 02 br
00 Twenty will not come again, 02 br
00 And take from seventy springs a score, 02 br
00 It only leaves me fifty more. 02 br
02 br
00 And since to look at things in bloom 02 br
00 Fifty springs are little room, 02 br
00 About the woodlands I will go 02 br
00 To see the cherry hung with snow. 0-
