豪斯曼《什罗普郡少年》第二首。樱桃树披一身白花，恰如少年为复活节着白衣。人生七十，春光已去二十，诗人决意遍游林间，看尽樱桃花开。惜春之情，明净如枝头的花。
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.
