Spring Torrents
by Sara Teasdale


Will it always be like this until I am dead,
     Every spring must I bear it all again
With the first red haze of the budding maple boughs,
     And the first sweet-smelling rain?

Oh I am like a rock in the rising river
     Where the flooded water breaks with a low call --
Like a rock that knows the cry of the waters
     And cannot answer at all.
