The Tree of Song
by Sara Teasdale
From Love Songs Part III

I sang my songs for the rest,
      For you I am still;
The tree of my song is bare
      On its shining hill.

For you came like a lordly wind,
      And the leaves were whirled
Far as forgotten things
      Past the rim of the world.

The tree of my song stands bare
      Against the blue --
I gave my songs to the rest,
      Myself to you.
