  • Above its bald and leafless branches bears.

  • Like to an almond tree ymounted hye
  • On top of greene Selinis all alone,
  • With blossoms brave bedecked daintily;
  • Whose tender locks do tremble every one,
  • At everie little breath, that under heaven is blowne.
  • Spenser.

  • Almond blossom, sent to teach us
  • That the spring days soon will reach us.
  • Edwin Arnold.
