A continuing selection of classic and contemporary poems.

Sara Teasdale

Strephon kissed me in the spring,
 Robin in the fall,
But Colin only looked at me
 And never kissed at all.

Strephon’s kiss was lost in jest,
 Robin’s lost in play,
But the kiss in Colin’s eyes
 Haunts me night and day.

What are tags?
