Spring in Bloom
in my yard
 
 

"Where the lilacs grow
and the happiness shows
on the faces of children
and flowers and trees
Where the good times meet
and the living is sweet
And there's never a cloud in the sky."
lyrics from "Where The Lilacs Grow"
by Slim Whitman
 
When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd
Walt Whitman

-excerpt-

"...In the dooryard fronting an old farm-house
near the white-wash'd palings,
Stands the lilac-bush tall-growing with
heart-shaped leaves of rich green,
With many a pointed blossom rising delicate, with the perfume strong I love,
With every leaf a miracle--
and from this bush in the dooryard,
With delicate-color'd blossoms and
heart-shaped leaves of rich green,
A sprig with its flower I break..."

 

 

afternoon strolling
beyond winter weary days
lilac aroma
