Poems by Women

Love Songs

    Moods

Sara Teasdale

I am the still rain falling,
 Too tired for singing mirth --
Oh, be the green fields calling,
 Oh, be for me the earth!

I am the brown bird pining
 To leave the nest and fly --
Oh, be the fresh cloud shining,
 Oh, be for me the sky!

From: Rittenhouse, Jessie B.
The Second Book of Modern Verse (1919).
