Walt Whitman

When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloomed

.... 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 colored blossoms
And heart-shaped leaves of rich green,
A sprig with flowers I break."
