Apple Blossoms

 

"In the days and generations to come, Jacob shall take root;
Israel shall blossom and send forth shoots and fill the whole world
with fruit of the knowledge of the true God."
Isaiah 27:6

Apple Trees In Full Bloom

Wilfried Krecichwost

(2019)

Of all the months that fill the year,

Give April's month to me,

For earth and sky are then so filled

With sweet variety.

The apple-blossoms' shower of pearl,

Though blent with rosier hue,-

As beautiful as woman's blush,

An evanescent too.

On every bough there is a bud,

In every bud a flower;

But scarcely bud or flower will last

Beyond the present hour.

Now comes a shower-cloud o'er the sky,

Then all again sunshine;

Then clouds again, but brightened with

The rainbow's coloured line.

Ay, this, this is the month for me:

I could not love a scene

Where the blue sky was always blue,

The green earth always green.
