"Oh Day of Fire and Sun"
by Sara Teasdale


Oh day of fire and sun,
     Pure as a naked flame,
Blue sea, blue sky and dun
     Sands where he spoke my name;

Laughter and hearts so high
     That the spirit flew off free,
Lifting into the sky
     Diving into the sea;

Oh day of fire and sun
     Like a crystal burning,
Slow days go one by one,
     But you have no returning.
