Oh! Fair To See
Oh, fair to see
Bloom-laden cherry tree,
Arrayed in sunny white:
An April day’s delight,
Oh, fair to see!
Oh, fair to see
Fruit-laden cherry tree,
With balls of shining red
Decking a leafy head,
Oh, fair to see!
-- by Christina Rossetti
Beautiful tree and poem!
ReplyDeleteYes, Bernideen, I grew up with Christina Rossetti's poetry, and I really like her work. I love when fruit trees are in bloom, and this was a nice photo that I found on the web. We have an orange tree that is blooming now, so the air is really fragrant (which I love), but orange blossoms aren't very showy like these pink ones. I think that is a peach or apricot tree in the photo.
