Sara Teasdale

I heard a cry in the night,
 A thousand miles it came,
Sharp as a flash of light,
 My name, my name!

It was your voice I heard,
 You waked and loved me so—
I send you back this word,
 I know, I know!

What are tags?
Tags, sometimes called “folksonomies,” are words that describe or categorize a poem, like “20th century modernism” or “Italian sonnet”. Tags can help you find poems that have something in common, based on how other people classify them.
