Pierrot
by Sara Teasdale
From Helen of Troy and Other Poems Part II


Pierrot stands in the garden
      Beneath a waning moon,
And on his lute he fashions
      A little silver tune.

Pierrot plays in the garden,
      He thinks he plays for me,
But I am quite forgotten
      Under the cherry tree.

Pierrot plays in the garden,
      And all the roses know
That Pierrot loves his music,
      But I love Pierrot.
