There she stood,
framed by white lilac bushes,
holding some in her arms.
They were his favorite flower,
fragrant and lovely!
She was the prettiest girl
he had ever seen,
corn silk hair,
in a white ruffly,
organdie dress
with a sky blue sash.
It was love at first sight!
After her tragic death
he was inconsolable!
This vision haunted him
wherever he went,
trying to forget!
Again and again
the sound of her pleasing,
vibrant voice,
floating on the breeze
and the fragrance of white lilacs!
