i wonder where the cherry blossoms blow
a branch i bear, apple trees
beside me flows a languid stream
in the sight of an ancient tree
within the vale of crystal glow
where visions unseen come and go
in harmony of song
its magic in peace i know
they hail together each new birth of time
in sight of seasons change
summer leaves scatter
to fall colors entering
a distant isle sunk in shadows
winters bitter chill
anew with rare force
till spring may come again
by scarlet rose
four of these lines come from a book called a Celtic psaltery by Alfred perceval graves.
"here they are: a branch i bear,apple trees"
"a distant isle sunk in shadows"
"in the sight of an ancient tree"
"in harmony of song"
"they hail together each new birth of time"
