The lilac spread Odorous essence. - Jean Ingelow, Laurance (pt. III) Go down to Kew in lilac-time, in lilac-time, in lilac-time; Go down to Kew in lilac-time (it isn't far from London). And you shall wander hand in hand with love in summer's wonderland; Go down to Kew in lilac-time (it isn't far from London). - Alfred Noyes, The Barrel Organ I am thinking of the lilac-trees, That shook their purple plumes, And when the sash was open, Shed fragrance through the room. - Mrs. Anna S. Stephens, The Old Apple-Tree The purple clusters load the lilac-bushes. - Mrs. Amelia Ball Welby (nee Coppuck), Hopeless Love When lilacs last in the door-year 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. - Walt Whitman, When Lilacs Last in the Door-Yard Bloom'd (I, Leaves of Grass) With every leaf a miracle . . . and from this bush in the door-yard, With delicate-colour'd blossoms, and heart-shaped leaves of rich green A sprig with its flower, I break. - Walt Whitman, When Lilacs Last in the Door-Yard Bloom'd (III, Leaves of Grass)
