Rivers to the Sea (Collection)/Deep in the Night

by Sara Teasdale

 

DEEP IN THE NIGHT

Deep in the night the cry of a swallow,
⁠Under the stars he flew,
Keen as pain was his call to follow
⁠Over the world to you.

Love in my heart is a cry forever
⁠Lost as the swallow's flight,
Seeking for you and never, never
⁠Stilled by the stars at night.
