LILAC TIME IN LOMBARD 
It is Lilac Time in Lombard, and a Mystery unseen 
Has changed the brown of yesterday to lavender and green; 
There’s a robin on a swaying twig; a catbird calling near 
And their chorus makes the heart beat high to know that Spring is here. 
In the house a curtain rustles and a fragrance fills each room; 
For it’s Maytime now in Lombard and the Lilacs are in bloom. 
Some people like the towns in Spain of which the poets sing; 
Some say that Rome and Picardy are lovely in the Spring; 
But give me good old Lombard with its hedgerows everywhere 
And the plumes of purple glory thrust into the scented air. 
Go! Search the world for wonders both in color and perfume— 
Then turn your eyes to Lombard when the Lilacs are in bloom. 
—Ralph Chaplin.
