Debt
by Sara Teasdale
From Love Songs Part I and Rivers to the Sea Part II


WHAT do I owe to you
      Who loved me deep and long?
You never gave my spirit wings
      Or gave my heart a song.

But oh, to him I loved
      Who loved me not at all,
I owe the little open gate
      That led thru heaven's wall.
