Analysis of Spring peonies - Kyrielle Sonnet



Sweet and fragrant is the spring snow
Petals leaving  flowering trees
Carried by breeze like a warm flow
I made bouquets of peonies

Remember each spring was the best
Drawing some new sweet memories
And to brighten our cozy nest
I made bouquets of peonies

Now you disappeared since three years
Each May going at cemetery
To grace your grave, watered by tears
I made bouquets of peonies

sweet and fragrant is the spring snow
I made bouquets of peonies
