Sara Teasdale - The RoseSara Teasdale - The Rose
Work rating: Low


Beneath my chamber window Pierrot was singing, singing; I heard his lute the whole night thru     Until the east was red. Alas, alas Pierrot, I had no rose for flinging Save one that drank my tears for dew     Before its leaves were dead. I found it in the darkness, I kissed it once and threw it, The petals scattered over him,     His song was turned to joy; And he will never know— Alas, the one who knew it! The rose was plucked when dusk was dim     Beside a laughing boy.
