WHEN THE LILACS ARE BLOOMIMG AGAIN, by                    
First Line: The mocking bird sings in the hedge
Last Line: Till the lilacs bloom again.
Subject(s): Spring


The mocking bird sings in the hedge,
The robin hops over the lawn;
The bluebirds are building a nest,
They are busy from early dawn.
The sparrows twitter round the chimney --
To the lovely outdoors, I am drawn;
Ah, the tulips! No greater glory attained the wise man!
And the lilacs are blooming again.

Out in the garden a blackbird,
Searches the freshly turned soil,
Sprouts from the seed are peeping through
And the tender green leaves unfoil,
All nature seems joining in gentle refrain,
When the lilacs are blooming again.

The rose bushes become laden,
And the ramblers on the wall;
The flowers come and leave.
From spring till early fall,
We welcome them with joy;
We are sad to see them go;
And when we hear the thunder
After months of frost and snow,
When the spring showers
Gently trickle down the pane,
We know it won't be long
Till the lilacs bloom again.
