A continuing selection of classic and contemporary poems.

Sara Teasdale

Oh, I have sown my love so wide
 That he will find it everywhere;
It will awake him in the night,
 It will enfold him in the air.

I set my shadow in his sight
 And I have winged it with desire,
That it may be a cloud by day,
 And in the night a shaft of fire.

What are tags?
