Love

New Love, New Life (I)

by Amy Levy 1861–1889

From A London Plane-Tree, and Other Verse

Love

She, who so long has lain
Stone-stiff with folded wings,
Within my heart again
The brown bird wakes and sings.

Brown nightingale, whose strain
Is heard by day, by night,
She sings of joy and pain,
Of sorrow and delight.
