A Picnic Under the Cherry Trees

The boat drifts to rest Under the outward spraying branches.

 There is faint sound of quavering strings, The reedy murmurs of a flute, The soft sigh of the wind through silken garments; 

 All these are mingled With the breeze that drifts away, Filled with thin petals of cherry blossom, Like tinkling laughter dancing away in sunlight.
