LILAC TIME, by JOSEPHINE M. LANE First Line: Somewhere near a fence, I think Last Line: I'll plant this one tree more. Subject(s): Flowers; Lilacs | ||||||||
Somewhere near a fence, I think I'll plant a lilac tree Where little boys may mount and stretch In realms of fragrant glee And gather all the purple stars Their hungry eyes can see -- That trees within my garden walk May blossom as they will, That all their lovely fragrance then May unmolested spill Into our open windows and upon our greening lawn Without a weary watchman To guard from dusk to dawn! Such is my thought as now I grope Through wreckage 'round my door, Such is my thought -- yes, such my hope -- I'll plant this one tree more. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LILACS FOR GINSBERG by GERALD STERN LAST LOOKS AT THE LILACS by WALLACE STEVENS LILAC: FIRST EMOTIONS OF LOVE by ROBERT BURNS PRESIDENT LINCOLN'S BURIAL HYMN by WALT WHITMAN DESIGN OF WHITE LILACS by GRACE HAZARD CONKLING WITH LILACS by CHARLES HENRY CRANDALL |
