Spring goeth all in white

Spring goeth all in white,
Crowned with milk-white may:
In fleecy flocks of light
O'er heaven the white clouds stray:

White butterflies in the air;
White daisies prank the ground:
The cherry and hoary pear
Scatter their snow around.

by Robert Seymour Bridges (1844-1930) , no title, from The Shorter Poems of Robert Bridges, published 1890
