Classic Poem

Shining white clouds in the cherry trees tangled,
And over the orchard snowing;
Silver wild cherries on the hill-side spangled,
And bright among bronze oaks blowing:
So white, so bright, so fragrantly
Heart's delight blossoms in me.

Swallows come back to their endless careering
In love and in finest feather;
Swerving down, close to the cowslips nearing,
Then high in the golden weather:
In air so bright, with such a flight,
Dances on wings my heart's delight.
