Love

Dedication

by Sara Teasdale 1884–1933

From Dark of the Moon (1926)

Love

At least I have loved you;
Though much went wrong,
This was good,
This was strong.

Unshaken
In spite of the going of years,
Too sure to retract,
Too proud for tears.

Let my love be the pillow
Under your head,
On your lips like a song,
To your hunger, bread.
