Nature

Deep in the Night

by Sara Teasdale 1884–1933

From Rivers to the Sea

Nature

Deep in the night the cry of a swallow,
Under the stars he flew,
Keen as pain was his call to follow
Over the world to you.

Love in my heart is a cry forever
Lost as the swallow's flight,
Seeking for you and never, never
Stilled by the stars at night.
