The Power of Lilacs

If nations gathered
                      when lilacs bloom.
                      That colorful cluster
                      of fragrant plume.
                      Then peace be born
                      from loving womb.
                      And save young men,
                      from senseless tomb.

Thank you line. Lilacs could turn a world of hate into a Woodstock of love and peace.
