Debtor
by Sara Teasdale


So long as my spirit still
     Is glad of breath
And lifts its plumes of pride
     In the dark face of death;
While I am curious still
     Of love and fame,
Keeping my heart too high
     For the years to tame,
How can I quarrel with fate
     Since I can see
I am a debtor to life,
     Not life to me?
