Central Park at Dusk
by Sara Teasdale
From Helen of Troy and Other Poems Part II


Buildings above the leafless trees
      Loom high as castles in a dream,
While one by one the lamps come out
      To thread the twilight with a gleam.

There is no sign of leaf or bud,
      A hush is over everything --
Silent as women wait for love,
      The world is waiting for the spring.
