More quotes by Sara Teasdale
What we have never had, remains It is the things we have that go.
Sara Teasdale
My soul is a broken field, plowed by pain.
Sara Teasdale
Make songs for Death as you would sing to Love -But you will not assuage him. He aloneOf all the gods will take no gifts from men.
Sara Teasdale
Take love when love is given, But never think to find it A sure escape from sorrow Or a complete repose.
Sara Teasdale
It is strange how often a heart must be broken before the years can make it wise.
Sara Teasdale
Oh Earth, you gave me all I have, I love you, I love you, - oh what have IThat I can give you in return - Except my body after I die?
Sara Teasdale
Lyric night of the lingering Indian Summer, Shadowy fields that are scentless but full of singing, Never a bird, but the passionless chant of insects, Ceaseless, insistent. The grasshopper's horn, and far-off, high in the maples, The wheel of a locust leisurely grinding the silence Under a moon waning and worn, broken, Tired with summer.
Sara Teasdale
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
The leaves fall patiently Nothing remembers or grieves The river takes to the sea The yellow drift of leaves.
Sara Teasdale
Life has loveliness to sell, / Music like a curve of gold, / Scent of pine trees in the rain, / Eyes that love you, arms that hold, / And for your spirit's still delight, / Holy thoughts that star the night.
Sara Teasdale
One by one, like leaves from a tree, / All my faiths have forsaken me.
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.
Sara Teasdale
Time is a kind friend, he will make us old.
Sara Teasdale
The world is tired, the year is old, The faded leaves are glad to die.
Sara Teasdale
And for a breath of ecstasy / Give all you have been, or could be.
Sara Teasdale
My heart is a garden tired with autumn.
Sara Teasdale
Old love, old love, / How can I be true? / Shall I be faithless to myself / Or to you?
Sara Teasdale
Spend all you have for loveliness, Buy it and never count the cost For one white singing hour of peace Count many a year of strife well lost, And for a breath of ecstasy Give all you have been, or could be.
Sara Teasdale
It will not hurt me when I am old, A running tide where moonlight burned Will not sting me like silver snakesThe years will make me sad and cold, It is the happy heart that breaks.
Sara Teasdale
Though I know he loves me, tonight my heart is sad his kiss was not so wonderful as all the dreams I had.
