Quote

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.

My heart is a garden tired with autumn.
Sara Teasdale
Image
The spring is fresh and fearless And every leaf is new, The world is brimmed with moonlight, The lilac brimmed with dew. Here in the moving shadows I catch my breath and sing - My heart is fresh and fearless And over-brimmed with spring.

SONG You bound strong sandals on my feet, You gave me bread and wine, And sent me under sun and stars, For all the world was mine. Oh, take the sandals off my feet, You know not what you do, For all my world is in your arms, My sun and stars are you.

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
Image
One by one, like leaves from a tree, / All my faiths have forsaken me.

It is my heart that makes my songs, not I.

My soul is a broken field, plowed by pain.

There is a quiet at the heart of love, And I have pierced the pain and come to peace.
Sara Teasdale
Image
I shall not let a sorrow die Until I find the heart of it, Nor let a wordless joy go by Until it talks to me a bit.
Sara Teasdale
Image
I shall gather myself into my self again, I shall take my scattered selves and make them one.
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

I make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes.
