Day and Night  (1920)  by Sara Teasdale

In Warsaw in Poland
     Half the world away,
The one I love best of all
     Thought of me to-day;

I know, for I went
     Winged as a bird,
In the wide flowing wind
     His own voice I heard;

His arms were round me
     In a ferny place,
I looked in the pool
     And there was his face --

But now it is night
     And the cold stars say:
"Warsaw in Poland
     Is half the world away."
