Moods by Sara Teasdale

From Love Songs Part III and Rivers to the Sea Part I

I AM the still rain falling,
      Too tired for singing mirth--
Oh, be the green fields calling,
      Oh, be for me the earth!

I am the brown bird pining
      To leave the nest and fly--
Oh, be the fresh cloud shining,
      Oh, be for me the sky!
