work in progress, a simple version...
Walt Whitman's ode to Lincoln, well known poem, starts "When lilacs last in the dooryard bloom'd," the 1st phrase in the song.
WHEN lilacs last in the door-yard bloom’d,
and the great star early droop’d in the western sky in the night,
I mourn’d—and yet shall mourn with ever-returning spring.
O ever-returning spring! trinity sure to me you bring;
lilac blooming perennial, and drooping star in the west,
and thought of him I love...
helped inspire the song, in a way...
