Death & Dying

An End

by Sara Teasdale 1884–1933

From Dark of the Moon (1926)

Death & Dying

I have no heart for any other joy,
The drenched September day turns to depart,
And I have said good-bye to what I love;
With my own will I vanquished my own heart.

On the long wind I hear the winter coming,
The window panes are cold and blind with rain;
With my own will I turned the summer from me
And summer will not come to me again.
