Meadowlarks
by Sara Teasdale


In the silver light after a storm,
     Under dripping boughs of bright new green,
I take the low path to hear the meadowlarks
     Alone and high-hearted as if I were a queen.

What have I to fear in life or death
     Who have known three things: the kiss in the night,
The white flying joy when a song is born,
     And meadowlarks whistling in silver light.
