Lilacs	A
False blue	B
White	C
Purple	D
Color of lilac	E
Your great puffs of flowers	F
Are everywhere in this my New England	G
Among your heart shaped leaves	H
Orange orioles hop like music box birds and sing	I
Their little weak soft songs	J
In the crooks of your branches	K
The bright eyes of song sparrows sitting on spotted eggs	L
Peer restlessly through the light and shadow	M
Of all Springs	N
Lilacs in dooryards	N
Holding quiet conversations with an early moon	O
Lilacs watching a deserted house	N
Settling sideways into the grass of an old road	P
Lilacs wind beaten staggering under a lopsided shock of bloom	Q
Above a cellar dug into a hill	R
You are everywhere	S
You were everywhere	S
You tapped the window when the preacher preached his sermon	T
And ran along the road beside the boy going to school	U
You stood by the pasture bars to give the cows good milking	I
You persuaded the housewife that her dishpan was of silver	V
And her husband an image of pure gold	W
You flaunted the fragrance of your blossoms	N
Through the wide doors of Custom Houses	N
You and sandal wood and tea	X
Charging the noses of quill driving clerks	N
When a ship was in from China	Y
You called to them Goose quill men goose quill men	Z
May is a month for flitting	I
Until they writhed on their high stools	N
And wrote poetry on their letter sheets behind the propped up ledgers	N
Paradoxical New England clerks	N
Writing inventories in ledgers reading the Song of Solomon at night	C
So many verses before bed time	A2
Because it was the Bible	D
The dead fed you	B
Amid the slant stones of graveyards	N
Pale ghosts who planted you	B
Came in the nighttime	A2
And let their thin hair blow through your clustered stems	N
You are of the green sea	X
And of the stone hills which reach a long distance	N
You are of elm shaded streets with little shops where they sell kites and marbles	N
You are of great parks where every one walks and nobody is at home	B2
You cover the blind sides of greenhouses	N
And lean over the top to say a hurry word through the glass	N
To your friends the grapes inside	C2

Lilacs	N
False blue	B
White	C
Purple	D
Color of lilac	E
You have forgotten your Eastern origin	T
The veiled women with eyes like panthers	N
The swollen aggressive turbans of jeweled pashas	N
Now you are a very decent flower	V
A reticent flower	V
A curiously clear cut candid flower	V
Standing beside clean doorways	N
Friendly to a house cat and a pair of spectacles	N
Making poetry out of a bit of moonlight	C
And a hundred or two sharp blossoms	N
Maine knows you	B
Has for years and years	N
New Hampshire knows you	B
And Massachusetts	N
And Vermont	D2
Cape Cod starts you along the beaches to Rhode Island	G
Connecticut takes you from a river to the sea	N
You are brighter than apples	N
Sweeter than tulips	N
You are the great flood of our souls	N
Bursting above the leaf shapes of our hearts	N
You are the smell of all Summers	N
The love of wives and children	T
The recollection of gardens of little children	T
You are State Houses and Charters	N
And the familiar treading of the foot to and fro on a road it knows	N
May is lilac here in New England	G
May is a thrush singing Sun up on a tip top ash tree	N
May is white clouds behind pine trees	N
Puffed out and marching upon a blue sky	E2
May is a green as no other	V
May is much sun through small leaves	N
May is soft earth	F2
And apple blossoms	N
And windows open to a South Wind	G2
May is full light wind of lilac	E
From Canada to Narragansett Bay	H2

Lilacs	N
False blue	B
White	C
Purple	D
Color of lilac	E
Heart leaves of lilac all over New England	G
Roots of lilac under all the soil of New England	G
Lilac in me because I am New England	G
Because my roots are in it	I2
Because my leaves are of it	I2
Because my flowers are for it	I2
Because it is my country	N
And I speak to it of itself	J2
And sing of it with my own voice	N
Since certainly it is mine	K2
