Henry David Thoreau Quotes

Still Grows The Vivacious Lilac A Generation After The Door And Lintel And The Sill Are Gone, Unfolding Its Sweet-scented Flowers Each Spring, To Be Plucked By The Musing Traveller; Planted And Tended Once By Children's Hands, In Front-yard Plots - Now Standing By Wallsides In Retired Pastures, And Giving Place To New-rising Forests; - The Last Of That Stirp, Sole Survivor Of That Family. Little Did The Dusky Children Think That The Puny Slip With Its Two Eyes Only, Which They Stuck In The Ground In The Shadow Of The House And Daily Watered, Would Root Itself So, And Outlive Them, And House Itself In The Rear That Shaded It, And Grown Man's Garden And Orchard, And Tell Their Story Faintly To The Lone Wanderer A Half-century After They Had Grown Up And Died - Blossoming As Fair, And Smelling As Sweet, As In That First Spring. I Mark Its Still Tender, Civil, Cheerful Lilac Colors.
