Time & Brevity

Immortal

by Sara Teasdale 1884–1933

From Rivers to the Sea

Time & Brevity

So soon my body will have gone
Beyond the sound and sight of men,
And tho' it wakes and suffers now,
Its sleep will be unbroken then;
But oh, my frail immortal soul
That will not sleep forevermore,
A leaf borne onward by the blast,
A wave that never finds the shore.
