"My Heart Is Heavy"
by Sara Teasdale


My heart is heavy with many a song
     Like ripe fruit bearing down the tree,
But I can never give you one —
     My songs do not belong to me.

Yet in the evening, in the dusk
     When moths go to and fro,
In the gray hour if the fruit has fallen,
     Take it, no one will know.
