When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd Quotes

“When lilacs last in the dooryard 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

Ever-returning spring, trinity sure to me you bring,
Lilac blooming perennial and drooping star in the west,
And thought of him I love.”
― Walt Whitman, When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd

“Over the tree-tops I float thee a song,
Over the rising and sinking waves, over the myriad fields and the prairies wide,
Over the dense-pack’d cities all and the teeming wharves and ways,
I float this carol with joy, with joy to thee O death.”
― Walt Whitman, When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd
