Texte

[Verse 1]

When lilacs, lilacs last in the dooryard bloom'd,

And the great star early droop'd in the western sky in the night,

In the night,

I mourn'd, mourn'd, and yet shall mourn with ever-returning spring.

Ever-returning spring, trinity sure to me you bring,

Lilac blooming perennial and dropping star in the west,

And thought of him I love.

Written by: George Walker, Walt Whitman
