Loveliest of Trees Lyrics by Arthur Somervell

A Shropshire Lad

0

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
