Sara Teasdale

"Beauty, more than bitterness Makes the heart break. "

"Can I ever know you Or you know me "

"I make the most of all that comes, And the least of all that goes. "

"Life has loveliness to sell, All beautiful and splendid things, Blue waves whitened on a cliff, Soaring fire that sways and sings And children's faces looking up Holding wonder like a cup. "

"No one worth possessing Can be quite possessed. "

"When I can look life in the eyes, grown calm and very coldly wise, life will have given me the truth, and taken in exchange -- my youth. "
