Teasdale

 

Sara Teasdale
1884-1933

 
"Central Park at Dusk"

 

Buildings above the leafless trees
Loom high as castles in a dream,

While one by one the lamps come out
To thread the twilight with a gleam.

There is no sign of leaf or bud,
A hush is over everything –

Silent as women wait for love,
The world is waiting for the spring.
