• 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.

• Sweet moonlight, shining full and clear, Why do you light my torture here? How often have you seen me toil, Burning last drops of midnight oil. On books and papers as I read, My friend, your mournful light you shed. If only I could flee this den And walk the mountain-tops again, Through moonlit meadows make my way, In mountain caves with spirits play - Released from learning's musty cell, Your healing dew would make me well!
