I carol a song for you/ O sane and sacred death.
When lilacs last in the door-yard 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.
O ever-returning spring! trinity sure to me you bring;
Lilac blooming perennial, and drooping star in the west,
And thought of him her I love.
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.
O ever-returning spring! trinity sure to me you bring;
