I never see that prettiest thing-
A cherry bough gone white with Spring-
But what I think, “How gay ‘twould be
To hang me from a flowering tree.”
Cherry White

Ithink think this poem is pretty f’n good it talks about cheery shit like cherry trees but then at the end how nice it would be to hang herself on.
