New York, NY —
On a recent sunny Sunday, WNYC visited the Brooklyn Botanic Garden where visitors lounged on the grass in the shade of the flowering cherry trees planted in the Cherry Esplanade. As National Poetry Month wraps up, we asked a few people to read from a poem about spring, cherry blossoms and mortality.
Here's A.E. Houseman's "A Shropshire Lad, II".
