It would be lovely to sleep in a wild cherry tree all white with bloom in the moonshine, don't you think?
- L. M. Montgomery, " Anne of Green Gables"

To cherry blooms I come,
and under the blossoms go to sleep -

As bell tones fade,
blossoms scents take up ringing-
evening shade !
~Basho

鐘消えて 花の香は撞つく 夕ゆふべ哉
   
~松尾芭蕉

Myriads of things past
Are brought to my mind
These cherry blossoms !
~Basho

さまざまなこと思い出す桜かな
~松尾芭蕉

They blossom, and then
we gaze, and then the blooms
scatter, and then...
~Onitsura

咲くからに見るからに花のちるからに
~ 上嶋鬼貫
