Quest

Once there was a king of Spain, a Moorish king
His woman asked to see the snow in April
Oh woman, did you think to test your man?

In April all the flowers lay round and out in bloom
The earth was black or green for miles around
And nowhere was it cold enough for snow

But the man knew what to do

He took her to a far away and hidden valley
High and deep and buried in the mountains
Where white cherry blossoms fell to earth
And carpeted the ground with their sweet snow
