WHEN LILACS LAST IN THE DOORYARD BLOOM'D
1
When lilacs last in the dooryard bloom'd，
And the great star early droop'd in the western sky in the
night，
I mourn'd， and yet shall mourn with ever-returning spring.
Ever-returning spring， trinity sure to me you bring，
Lilac blooming perennial and drooping star in the west，
And thought of him I love.
