“Cherries in full bloom are so beautiful they literally make me want to…”
I know, right?
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.
The poem I think of when I think of cherry trees is Pablo Neruda’s “Poema 14" from 20 Poemas de Amor y una Canción Desesperada.
Quiero hacer contigo
lo que la primavera hace con los cerezos.
…which I know because Deb Talan used it for her lyric in the song “Cherry Trees”. Here are some Julliard students dancing to it:
