It Is Not a Word

Jul 29, 2011 02:09


It is not a word spoken,
Few words are said;
Nor even a look of the eyes
Nor a bend of the head,

But only a hush of the heart
That has too much to keep,
Only memories waking
That sleep so light a sleep.

Sara Teasdale
 

'viola', sara teasdale, poetry, sorrow
