Lavish Lilacs

Deep purple passion, green garden glory, with a scent remarkably rich, Like the haunting, full October moon, that hardly ever fails to bewitch! Lilac lovely, violet and voluptuous, in gilt daytime, and evening's ease, When soon cosmic skies are colored, like rubies, cardinals and cherries! Admired like amethysts, or glistening grapes, or plump, plentiful plums, Or like beauty marching down every lane, to a beating of festal drums! Lilac like lavender, spreading redolent secrets, over scenic, sunlit miles, Until sangria nights of fuchsia fervor, and fiery, shooting star projectiles.
