Last night you talked of cherry tree
Which by your window stands
Draped in snow there you did see
A fairy from a different land,
And asked me how it was that
You thought of me then too
As if I went there and sat
On the bench just beside you,
And we together picked them
Those cherries from the tree
Late winter then came
Before us to make us see-
How cherries despite snow
Had the redness quite juicy,
We there sat and savoured
As the day passed quite
Cherries in us sweetness poured
As we took them right
Into our mouths till they turned
More juicy and sweet,
We then together learnt
What could be a treat
That us we could always give
As we would together sit
Somewhere in between
Our dreams and wakefulness
Somewhere in a wintry scene
Of a cherry tree in snowy dress.
