   Washington cherry blossoms   
   On tidal basin's shore -   
   Hear me: You are awesome   
   And I your sight adore -   
      
   Branches like stems of roses   
   Flowers like butterflies   
   Resting in lustful poses   
   Like Dali's model lies -   
      
   Pink, white and full of splendor -   
   Sensual, warm delight -   
   Elegant, loving, tender -   
   Luminous to the sight:   
      
   How I love rubbing on you   
   Cheek on the flowering branch -   
   Let me caress you, fawn you   
   And with you my thirst quench -   
      
   Washington cherry blossoms  -   
   Children of clouds and rain   
   Tending to all the lost ones -   
   Making them live again -   
      
   Bringing the world around you   
   Into your soft caress -   
   Holding them as they're drowning   
   In your white-pinkish dress -   
      
   Filling their hearts with softness   
   And with your tender bliss -   
   Making them potent, dauntless -   
   Warriors for love and peace -   
      
   Warriors for what you know!   
   Warriors for what you are!   
   Rising, row upon row,   
   Willing to travel far -   
      
   To lands of death and darkness,   
   To lands of fear and doom -   
   To lands unfathomed, chartless   
   And bring those lands to bloom:   
      
   Bloom like your gorgeous branches!   
   Bloom in the pink and white!   
   Bloom, like the water quenches   
   Thirst, or sun dispels night!   
      
   Bringing with them your kindness   
   And all that's good and true -   
   And there you'll surely find us:   
   Lovers of life - and you.
