Blossom-time

Blossom on the plum,

Wild wind and merry;

Leaves upon the cherry,

And one swallow come.

Red windy dawn,

Swift rain and sunny;

Wild bees seeking honey,

Crocus on the Lawn;

Blossom on the plum,

Grass begins to grow,

Dandelions come;

Snowdrops haste to go

After last month's snow;

Rough winds beat and blow,

Blossom on the plum.
