The lilac (Novelinee)

With branching dense inflorescences
fragrant blooms the purple pure lilac
quite softly touches all of the senses,
its scent still lingers while the night is black
and in this very happy early spring
its vivid bright beauty I do behold
while it feels as if I am truly living
see nature with its great bounty unfold,
somewhat cheerful in a world that is cold.
