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


When Love comes singing to his heart
      That would not wake for me,
I think that I shall know his joy
      By my own ecstasy.

And tho' the sea were all between,
      The time their hands shall meet,
My heart will know his happiness,
      So wildly it will beat.

And when he bends above her mouth,
      Rejoicing for his sake,
My soul will sing a little song,
      But oh, my heart will break.
