The Song for Colin

From Wikisource

The Song for Colin by Sara Teasdale

From Helen of Troy and Other Poems Part II and Love Songs Part I

I sang a song at dusking time
      Beneath the evening star,
And Terence left his latest rhyme
      To answer from afar.

Pierrot laid down his lute to weep,
      And sighed, "She sings for me,"
But Colin slept a careless sleep
      Beneath an apple tree.
