    I'am a chinese student ,I am not good at english .Recently We are assigned a homework to design a lesson plan which is to compare two english love poems ,which tell about sadness and sweetness respectively. I've found "The Widow's Lament in Springtime"(as shown below) but can't found the other one which is supposed to be similar in the background but different(opposite) in mood . Could you introduce some poems to me ?help me!

    The Widow's Lament in Springtime
    Sorrow is my own yard
    where the new grass
    flames as it has flamed
    often before but not
    with the cold fire
    that closes round me this year.
    thirty five years
    I lived with my husband.
    The plum tree is white today
    with masses of flowers. ?
    masses of flowers
    loaded the cherry branches
    and color some bushes
    yellow and some red
    but the grief in my heart
    is stronger than they
    for though they were my joy
    formerly, today I notice them
    and turned away forgetting.
    Today my son told me
    that in the meadows,
    at the edge of the heavy woods
    in the distance, he saw ?
    trees of white flowers.
    I feel that I would like
    to go there
    and fall into those flowers ?
    and sink into the marsh near them
