View the full archive of Poetry Moment A Woman's Thought by Richard Watson Gilder I am a woman—therefore I may not Call to him, cry to him, Fly to him, Bid him delay not! Then when he comes to me, I must sit quiet; Still as a stone— All silent and cold. If my heart riot— Crush and defy it! Should I grow bold, Say one dear thing to him, All my life fling to him, Cling to him— What to atone Is enough for my sinning! This were the cost to me, This were my winning— That he were lost to me. Not as a lover At last if he part from me, ...

Whisper it from thy full heart, Let none hear thy passion moan, Safe from cruel pang or smart, To the cold world unbeknown, By darkling tree or silent sea With Love alone for company. In thy heart of hearts let sleep All thy rapture; and his name True in purity shall ke ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Affinity by George William (A. E.) Russell You and I have found the secret way, None can bar our love or say us nay: All the world may stare and never know You and I are twined together so. You and I for all his vaunted width Know the giant Space is but a myth; Over miles and miles of pure deceit You and I have found our lips can meet. You and I have laughed the leagues apart In the soft delight of heart to heart. If there’s a gulf to meet or limit set, You and I have never found it yet. You and I have trod the b ...

I shall not see the shadows, I shall not feel the rain; I shall not hear the nightingale Sing on, as if in pain; And dreaming t ...

See the line of lights, A chain of stars down either side the street-- Why can't you lift the chain and give it to me, A necklace for my throat? I'd twist it round And you could play with it. You smile at me As though I were a little dreamy child Behind whose eyes the fairies live. . . . And see, The people on the street look up at us All envious. We are a king and queen, Our royal carriage is a motor bus, We watch our ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Because I Liked You Better by A. E. Housman Because I liked you better Than suits a man to say,It irked you, and I promised To throw the thought away. To put the world between us We parted, stiff and dry;'Good-bye,' said you, 'forget me.' 'I will, no fear', said I.If here, where clover whitens The dead man's knoll, you pass,And no tall flower to meet you Starts in the trefoiled grass,Halt by the headstone naming The heart no longer stirred,And say the lad that loved you Was one that kept his word. Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Embers by Sara Teasdale I said, "My youth is gone Like a fire beaten out by the rain, That will never sway and sing Or play with the wind again." I said, "It is no great sorrow That quenched my youth in me, But only little sorrows Beating ceaselessly." I thought my youth was gone, But you returned-- Like a flame at the call of the wind It leaped and burned; Threw off its ashen cloak, And gowned anew Gave itself like a bride Once more to you. Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Message by Sara Teasdale I heard a cry in the night, A thousand miles it came, Sharp as a flash of light, My name, my name! It was your voice I heard, You waked and loved me so-- I send you back this word, I know, I know! Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website The Lamp by Sara Teasdale If I can bear your love like a lamp before me, When I go down the long steep Road of Darkness, I shall not fear the everlasting shadows, Nor cry in terror. If I can find out God, then I shall find Him, If none can find Him, then I shall sleep soundly, Knowing how well on earth your love sufficed me, A lamp in darkness. Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Lights by Sara Teasdale When we come home at night and close the door, Standing together in the shadowy room, Safe in our own love and the gentle gloom, Glad of familiar wall and chair and floor, Glad to leave far below the clanging city; Looking far downward to the glaring street Gaudy with light, yet tired with many feet, In both of us wells up a wordless pity; Men have tried hard to put away the dark; A million lighted windows brilliantly Inlay with squares of gold the winter night, But to u ...

You love me, and I find you still A spirit beautiful and bright, Yet I am I, who long to be Lost as a light is lost in light. Oh plunge me deep in love--put out My senses, leave me deaf and blind, Swept by the tempest of your love, A taper in a rushing wind. Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Doubt by Sara Teasdale My soul lives in my body's house, And you have both the house and her-- But sometimes she is less your own Than a wild, gay adventurer; A restless and an eager wraith, How can I tell what she will do-- Oh, I am sure of my body's faith, But what if my soul broke faith with you? Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website The Wind by Sara Teasdale A wind is blowing over my soul, I hear it cry the whole night through-- Is there no peace for me on earth Except with you? Alas, the wind has made me wise, Over my naked soul it blew,-- There is no peace for me on earth Even with you. Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Morning by Sara Teasdale I went out on an April morning All alone, for my heart was high, I was a child of the shining meadow, I was a sister of the sky. There in the windy flood of morning Longing lifted its weight from me, Lost as a sob in the midst of cheering, Swept as a sea-bird out to sea.

When I look at other men, I wish your face were there, With its gray eyes and dark skin And tossed black hair. When I think of other men, Dreaming alone by day, The thought of you like a strong wind Blows the dreams away. When I talk with other men I always think of you-- Your words are keener than their words, And they are gentler, too. When I look at ...

The years went by and never knew That each one brought me nearer you; Their path was narrow and apart And yet it led me to your heart-- Oh, sensitive, shy years, oh, lonely years, That strove to sing with voices drowned in tears.

I do not hope to bind the wind Or set a fetter on the sea-- It is enough to feel his love Blow by like music over me. Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Come by Sara Teasdale Come, when the pale moon like a petal Floats in the pearly dusk of spring, Come with arms outstretched to take me, Come with lips pursed up to cling. Come, for life is a frail moth flying, Caught in the web of the years that pass, And soon we two, so warm and eager, Will be as the gray stones in the grass. Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website Joy by Sara Teasdale I am wild, I will sing to the trees, I will sing to the stars in the sky, I love, I am loved, he is mine, Now at last I can die! I am sandaled with wind and with flame, I have heart-fire and singing to give, I can tread on the grass or the stars, Now at last I can live!
