A. E. Housman Quotes About Spring

Quotes about: Spring

• 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.

  A. E. Housman

  Spring, White, Years

  A Shropshire Lad no. 2, l. 1 (1896)

• 'Tis spring; come out to ramble
  The hilly brakes around,
  For under thorn and bramble
  About the hollow ground
  The primroses are found.
  And there's the windflower chilly
  With all the winds at play,
  And there's the Lenten lily
  That has not long to stay
  And dies on Easter day.

  A. E. Housman
