The Song of the Lilac Fairy

Finally got one in the right season!

The Song of the Lilac Fairy
by Cicely Mary Barker

White May is flowering,
Red May beside;
Laburnum is showering
Gold far and wide;
But I sing of Lilac,
The dearly-loved Lilac,
Lilac, in Maytime
A joy and a pride!

I love her so much
That I never can tell
If she's sweeter to look at,
Or sweeter to smell.
