by Sara Teasdale (1884 - 1933)
Buried Love
Language: English
I shall bury my weary Love Beneath a tree, In the forest tall and black Where none can see I shall put no flowers at his head, Nor stone at his feet, For the mouth I loved so much Was bittersweet. I shall go no more to his grave, For the woods are cold. I shall gather as much of joy As my hands can hold. I shall stay all day in the sun Where the wide winds blow, But oh, I shall cry at night When none will know.
