"Orchard in Spring” by Alfred Sisley (1881)

New Clothes
When sentinel poui changes her clothing
From all green to an all pink thing

Know that sovereign Easter is near
Our Caribbean nuance of Spring

With silver smiles of resurrection 
Of renewal therefore sing

Pink poui has changed her garb
And that's a wonderful thing

    Spring on the island!! I too had to look up with the poui. In our climate we might replace it with the red bud tree, it is first to bloom in spring here.
