" "
I should be glad of loneliness And hours that go on broken wings, A thirsty body, a tired heart And the unchanging ache of things, If I could make a single song As lovely and as full of light, As hushed and brief as a falling star On a winter night.

Additional quotes by Sara Teasdale

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

Less than the foam to the sea,
Less than the rose to the storm

Yea, if you came the rest must go

Nay, I could weep a little too,
But I shall only smile and say
