Come, Come where Blossoms Bloom

Come, see where blossoms bloom

 (click link to see gorgeous blossom)

Come, see where blossoms bloom

Before the sweet of fruit

And leaf returns to root

Hope spills its half-bud plume

Come, stroll where dreaming roof

Is fraught with fragrant flow’r

Before the bleeding bow’r

Bends low with harvest-proof

…and here we, arm in arm

‘neath virgin canopy

Of what is yet to be

Taste youth in all its charm

Come, come where blossoms bloom

Too soon the fruit will fall

Its musky madrigal

Filling thought’s holding-room
