Oh, there never was yet so fair thing,
BY racing river or bubbling spring,
Nothing that ever so gayly grew
Up from the ground when the skies were blue
Nothing so brave-nSthing so free
As ho",-my wild, wild Cherry tree

Jove how it trolieked amongst the trees
Dasshing the pride of the poplar down,
Stripping the thorn Of his hOary crown

Never at rest, like one that's young 81
Abroad to the winds its arms is flung.
Shaking its bright and crowned head.

And lshout-like the tempest loud and free
