The Lilac is an ancient shrubB
But ancienter than thatC
The Firmamental LilacD
Upon the Hill tonightE
The Sun subsiding on his CourseF
Bequeaths this final PlantG
To Contemplation not to TouchH
The Flower of OccidentI
Of one Corolla is the WestJ
The Calyx is the EarthK
The Capsules burnished Seeds the StarsL
The Scientist of FaithM
His research has but just begunN
Above his synthesisO
The Flora unimpeachableP
To Time's AnalysisO
Eye hath not seen may possiblyQ
Be current with the BlindR
But let not RevelationN
By theses be detainedS
