Excerpt from The Listeners: And Other Poems
There were three cherry trees once, Grew in a garden all Shady; And there for delight of so gladsome a Walked a most beautiful lady, Dreamed a most beautiful lady.
Birds in those branches did sing, Blackbird and throstle and linnet, But she walking there was by far the most fair Lovelier than all else within it, Blackbird and throstle and linnet.
But blossoms to berries do come, All hanging on stalks light and slender, And one long summer's day charmed that lady away, With vows sweet and merry and tender; A lover with voice low and tender.
