O' favor'd flower of spring's return <br />How bright your violet petals bloom <br />Filling the air with scent'd lavender <br />Not e'en darkness can dim your tiny plumes <br />Of all the colours spring brings to life <br />Of the many flowers that adorn the month of May <br />Tis the endearing Lilac that reigns supreme <br />Till summer's kiss thy beauty starts to fade<br /><br />John A.
