Loveliest of trees, the cherry now

Is hung with bloom along the bough,
And stands about the woodland ride
Wearing white for Eastertide.

Now, of my threescore years and ten,
Twenty will not come again,
And take from seventy springs a score,
It only leaves me fifty more.

And since to look at things in bloom
Fifty springs are little room,
About the woodlands I will go
To see the cherry hung with snow.

Which idea best states what the cherry blossoms symbolize?
A. Life is full of sadness and regret
B. Life goes by much to quickly
C. Life should be routinely questioned
D. Life is always pleasant and beautiful

I believe the correct answer is B, due to the fact that at the beginning and end the author is speaking of the time and throughout time is counting down as well.
Hope this helps
