Subject(s): Almond Trees; Trees
WHEN almond buds unclose,
Soft white and tender rose, --
A swarm of white moth things,
With sunset on their wings,
That fluttering settle down
On branches chill and brown;
When all the sky is blue,
And up from grasses new
Blithe springs the meadow lark, --
Sweet, sweet, from dawn to dark; --
When all the young year's way
Grows sweeter day by day; --
When almond buds unclose,
Who doubts of May's red rose?
