A bunch of lilac and a storm of hail

A bunch of lilac and a storm of hail 
On the same afternoon! Indeed I know 
Here in the South it always happens so, 
That lilac is companioned by the gale. 
I took some hailstones from the window sill 
And swallowed them in a communion feast. 
Their transitory joy is mine at least, 
The lilac's loveliness escapes me still. 
Mine are the storms of spring, but not the sweets.
