Lilacs are such lovely flowers
Lavender lace blooms
Sweetly scenting
The early summer air

Lavender lace blooms
Growing in mass behind our school
The early summer air
Thick with nature’s perfume

Growing in mass behind our school
An invitation to load our arms
Thick with nature’s perfume
And taste her sweetness past the moment of discovery

An invitation to load our arms
We answer greedily
And taste her sweetness past the moment of discovery
Savoring our freedom a while longer

We answer greedily
Adorning our milieu
Savoring our freedom a while longer
Because our desks were laden with boughs of purple

Adorning our milieu
Lilacs are such lovely flowers
Because our desks were laden with boughs of purple
Sweetly scenting
