She can't be unhappy,' you said, 'The smiles are like stars… - Sara Teasdale

" "
She can't be unhappy,' you said,
'The smiles are like stars in her eyes,
And her laugh is thistledown
Around her low replies.'
'Is she unhappy?' you said–
But who has ever known
Another's heartbreak–
All he can know is how own;
And she seems hushed to me,
As hushed as though
Her heart were a hunter's fire
Smothered in snow.

Additional quotes by Sara Teasdale

For you would never be content
With just a corner in my room,
Yea, if you came the rest must go
⁠ Into the gloom. And so, farewell, O friend, my friend!
Nay, I could weep a little too,
But I shall only smile and say
⁠ Farewell to you.

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.

For I shall learn from flower and leaf,
That color every drop they hold,
To change the lifeless wine of grief
To living gold.
