Beneath these fruit-tree boughs that shed Their snow-white blossoms on my head, With brightest sunshine round me spread Of spring's unclouded weather, In this sequestered nook how sweet To sit upon my orchard-seat! And birds and flowers once more to greet, My last year's friends together.
How fast has brother followed brother, From sunshine to the sunless land!
The sunshine is a glorious birth; But yet I know, where'er I go, That there hath passed away a glory from the earth.
