“When Lilacs Last in the Door-yard Bloom’d”<\/p>\n
“When lilacs last in the door-yard bloom’d,<\/p>\n
And the great star early droop’d in the western sky in the night,<\/p>\n
I mourn’d and yet will mourn with ever-returning spring.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
O ever-returning spring! trinity sure to me you bring;<\/p>\n
Lilac blooming perennial, and drooping star in the west,<\/p>\n
And thought of him I love.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
O powerful, western, fallen star!<\/p>\n
O shades of night! O\u00a0moody, tearful\u00a0night!<\/p>\n
O great star disappear’d! O the black murk that hides the star!<\/p>\n
O cruel hands that hold me powerless! O helpless soul of me!<\/p>\n
O harsh surrounding cloud, that will not free my soul”.\u00a0\u00a0 Walt Whitman.<\/p>\n
