THE DANCE OF THE CHERRY TREES recorded, and presumably written by, John Spillane.

Loveliest of Trees A. E. Housman - 1859-1936

Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough,
And stands about the woodland ride
Wearing white for Eastertide.

Now, of my threescore years and ten,
Twenty will not come again,
And take from seventy springs a score,
It only leaves me fifty more.

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

From Loveliest of Trees by Polly Bolton Band 1996 SHEPHERD MUSIC SHEP CD 01
A setting of poems taken from "A Shropshire Lad" by A.E. Housman.
Polly Bolton, John Shepherd and Steve Dunachie; verses read by Sir Nigel Hawthorne.
