First Line: In alleys of lilacs
Last Line: Moon-words, sun-words.
Subject(s): Flowers; Lilacs
In alleys of lilacs
The river runs,
And all of its water
Is moons and suns.
Lilacs are whiter
That wade the moons
And suns of a river
Long afternoons,
And river-lilacs
And river-birds
Cry to each other
Moon-words, sun-words.
