ALMOND BLOSSOM
Among the snow-flakes, whirling white,
I saw a vision of delight—
All clotted by the wintry shower,
An almond-tree laughed out in flower!
I saw a vision of delight—
All clotted by the wintry shower,
An almond-tree laughed out in flower!
Blow, wintry years, I shall not care,
If I the almond's joy may share,
And break in bloom at heart, although
My aged head be white with snow!
If I the almond's joy may share,
And break in bloom at heart, although
My aged head be white with snow!
