"Oh You Are Coming"
by Sara Teasdale


Oh you are coming, coming, coming,
     How will hungry Time put by the hours till then? —
But why does it anger my heart to long so
     For one man out of the world of men?

Oh I would live in myself only
     And build my life lightly and still as a dream —
Are not my thoughts clearer than your thoughts
     And colored like stones in a running stream?

Now the slow moon brightens in heaven,
     The stars are ready, the night is here —
Oh why must I lose myself to love you,
     My dear?
