Lyrics

Loveliest of trees, the cherry now,
hung with bloom along the bough,
it stands about the woodland ride
wearing white for Eastertide.

Now of my threescore years and ten,
twenty will not come again.
And take from sev'nty springs a score,
leaving me just fifty more.

And since to look at things in bloom
fifty springs are little room,
about the woodlands I will go,
see the cherry hung with snow.
