The Old Bridge, Trim

The Boyne flowing under the old bridge in Trim with a cherry blossom in bloom.

Earth has not anything to show more fair:
Dull would he be of soul who could pass by
A sight so touching in its majesty;

from
Composed upon Westminster Bridge, Sept. 3, 1802 by Willian Wordsworth.
