New Love and Old
by Sara Teasdale
From Love Songs Part I and Rivers to the Sea Part I

In my heart the old love
        Struggled with the new;
It was ghostly waking
        All night thru.

Dear things, kind things,
        That my old love said,
Ranged themselves reproachfully
        Round my bed.

But I could not heed them,
        For I seemed to see
The eyes of my new love
        Fixed on me.

Old love, old love,
        How can I be true?
Shall I be faithless to myself
        Or to you?
