Nature

Less than the Cloud to the Wind

by Sara Teasdale 1884–1933

From Helen of Troy and Other Poems (1911)

Nature

Less than the cloud to the wind,
Less than the foam to the sea,
Less than the rose to the storm
Am I to thee.

More than the star to the night,
More than the rain to the lea,
More than heaven to earth
Art thou to me.
