Wood Song
by Sara Teasdale
From Love Songs Part II

I heard a wood thrush in the dusk
      Twirl three notes and make a star --
My heart that walked with bitterness
      Came back from very far.

Three shining notes were all he had,
      And yet they made a starry call --
I caught life back against my breast
      And kissed it, scars and all.
