Apple blossoms look like snow
Language: English
Apple blossoms look like snow, They're different, though. Snow falls softly, but it brings Noisy things: Sleighs and bells, forts and fights, Cosy nights. But apple blossoms when they go, White and slow, Quiet all the orchard space, Till the place Hushed with falling sweetness seems Filled with dreams.
