Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFFLoveliest of trees the cherry now | A |
Is hung with bloom along the bough | A |
And stands about the woodland ride | B |
Wearing white for Eastertide | B |
- | |
Now of my threescore years and ten | C |
Twenty will not come again | C |
And take from seventy springs a score | D |
It only leaves me fifty more | D |

And since to look at things in bloom | E |
Fifty springs are little room | E |
About the woodlands I will go | F |
To see the cherry hung with snow | F |
