“Dusk in Autumn"

The moon is like a scimitar,
A little silver scimitar,
A-drifting down the sky.
And near beside it is a star,
A timid twinkling golden star,
That watches likes an eye.

And thro’ the nursery window-pane
The witches have a fire again,
Just like the ones we make,—
And now I know they’re having tea,
I wish they’d give a cup to me,
With witches’ currant cake.”
― Sara Teasdale

“If I can sing, I still am free.”
― Sara Teasdale, Love Songs

“To do something very common, in my own way.”
― Adrienne Rich
