1 WHEN lilacs last in the door-yard
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.
2 O ever-returning spring! trinity sure to me you bring;
Lilac blooming perennial, and drooping star in the west,
And thought of him I love.
