The Net  (1920) 
by Sara Teasdale

I made you many and many a song,
     Yet never one told all you are --
It was as though a net of words
     Were flung to catch a star;

It was as though I curved my hand
     And dipped sea-water eagerly,
Only to find it lost the blue
     Dark splendor of the sea.
