Lilacs
Shauna Bishop

In the dooryard fronting an old farm-house near the
the whitewashed 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.
