"A Little While"  (1920) 
by Sara Teasdale

A little while when I am gone
     My life will live in music after me,
As spun foam lifted and borne on
     After the wave is lost in the full sea.

A while these nights and days will burn
     In song with the bright frailty of foam,
Living in light before they turn
     Back to the nothingness that is their home.
