June Night
by Sara Teasdale


Oh Earth, you are too dear to-night,
     How can I sleep while all around
Floats rainy fragrance and the far
     Deep voice of the ocean that talks to the ground?

Oh Earth, you gave me all I have,
     I love you, I love you, -- oh what have I
That I can give you in return --
     Except my body after I die?
