The Cherry-Snows

 

 

        The cherry-snows are falling now;
         Down from the blossom-clouded sky
        Of zephyr-troubled twig and bough,
         In widely settling whirls they fly.

        The orchard earth, unclothed and brown,
         Is wintry-hued with petals bright;
        E'en as the snow they glimmer down;
         Brief as the snow's their stainless white.

It is nice, isn't it. Simple, well rhymed, and to the point. (Without all the elaboration my own pen would scratch.... my bad!) Blessings, Allen
