6:00 A.M
Dawn
The campus comes to life.
The dew is still dozing on the pistil.
Yet the bees have already got down to work.
7:00 A.M.
The sky is clearing up, breathing the cool morning air.
8:00A.M.
The sun is climbing.
The warm sunlight passes through the branch and kisses every petal good morning.
10:00 A.M.
The cloudless sky is clear and bright.
The cherry in full bloom never fails to attract the sight of the hurrying students passing by.
12:00A.M.
The midday beam gives the petal a gilt edge.
2:00P.M.
The branches and petals are dancing in the warm breeze.
4:00 P.M.
The blazing beam turns mellow and dyes the blossom lingering gold.
6:00 P.M.
The sun is gone. The students finish their course and the bustling campus falls into serenity.
8:00 P.M.
The road lamps on.
The mottled light and the blossom add radiance and beauty to each other.
10:00 P.M.
The night is pressing up.
Yet the dark night sky never shuts up the beauty of the cherry blossom under the sparkling stars.
