Image
Now at last I have come to see what life is, Nothing is ever ended, everything only begun, And the brave victories that seem so splendid Are never really won.
Sara Teasdale
Image
I saw above a sea of hills A solitary planet shine, And there was no one, near or far, to keep the world from being mine.
Sara Teasdale
Image
Faults They came to tell your faults to me, They named them over one by one I laughed aloud when they were done, I knew them all so well before,-- Oh, they were blind, too blind to see Your faults had made me love you more.
Sara Teasdale
Image
Love in my heart is a cry forever Lost as the swallow's flight, Seeking for you and never, never Stilled by the stars at night

There's nothing half so real in life as the things you've done... inexorably, unalterably done.
Sara Teasdale

Love said, Wake still and think of me, Sleep, Close your eyes till break of day, But Dreams came by and smilingly Gave both to Love and Sleep their way.

It is my heart that makes my songs, not I.
Sara Teasdale
Image
From my spirit's gray defeat, From my pulse's flagging beat, From my hopes that turned to sand Sifting through my close-clenched hand, From my own fault's slavery, If I can sing, I still am free. For with my singing I can make A refuge for my spirit's sake, A house of shining words, to be My fragile immortality.

I make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes.
Sara Teasdale
Image
A hush is over everything, Silent as women wait for love The world is waiting for the spring.
Sara Teasdale
Image
Let it be forgotten, as a flower is forgotten, Forgotten as a fire that once was singing gold, Let it be forgotten forever and ever, Time is a kind friend, he will make us old.
Sara Teasdale
Image
There is a quiet at the heart of love, And I have pierced the pain and come to peace.
Sara Teasdale
Image
The roofs are shining from the rain, The sparrows twitter as they fly, And with a windy April grace The little clouds go by. Yet the back yards are bare and brown With only one unchanging tree- I could not be so sure of Spring Save that it sings in me.

My soul is a broken field, plowed by pain.
Sara Teasdale
Image
Though I know he loves me, tonight my heart is sad his kiss was not so wonderful as all the dreams I had.

The window-lights, myriads and myriads,Bloom from the walls like climbing flowers.

When I can look life in the eyes, grown calm and very coldly wise, life will have given me the truth, and taken in exchange - my youth.
