WHITE HAWTHORN, by ELEANOR GLENN WALLIS

Subject(s): Hawthorn
First Line: When cherry trees are driven snow
Last Line: Beneath the delicate surge of thorn.
Subject(s): Hawthorn
When cherry trees are driven snow
And starlings have begun to pair;
When celandine and iris blow
In gardens that were lately bare
And thorns in lovely pallor stir
The heart as might a dulcimer
When dawn is like a fighting-cock
And robins whistle up the sun;
When berry pickers cry their stock
Before the day is well begun ...
A lover's faith is lightly sworn
Beneath the delicate surge of thorn.
