by Nora Hopper (1871 - 1906)

Language: English 
Blossom on the plum, 
  Wild wind and merry;
Leaves upon the cherry, 
  And one swallow come.

Red windy dawn,
  Swift rain and sunny;
  Wild bees seeking honey,
Crocus on the Lawn;
  Blossom on the plum,

Grass begins to grow,
  Dandelions come;
Snowdrops haste to go
After last month's snow;
Rough winds beat and blow,
  Blossom on the plum.

Composition:

    Set to music by Roger Quilter (1877 - 1953), "Blossom-time", op. 15 (Three Songs) no. 3 (1914), published 1914 [ voice and piano ], London, Boosey
