Sara Teasdale: Pain
Sara Teasdale
(1884 – 1933)
Pain
Waves are the sea’s white daughters,
And raindrops the children of rain,
But why for my shimmering body
Have I a mother like Pain?
Night is the mother of stars,
And wind the mother of foam–
The world is brimming with beauty,
But I must stay at home.
