4   In the door-yard fronting an old farm-house, near the      white-wash'd 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 its delicate-color'd blossoms, and heart-shaped leaves      of rich green,
A sprig, with its flower, I break.
