written by Sara TeasdaleTo-night I close my eyes and see
A strange procession passing me--
The years before I saw your face
Go by me with a wistful grace;
They pass, the sensitive, shy years,
As one who strives to dance, half blind with tears.
The years went by and never knew
That each one brought me nearer you;
Their path was narrow and apart
And yet it led me to your heart--
Oh, sensitive, shy years, oh, lonely years,
That strove to sing with voices drowned in tears.

How many million Aprils came
Before I ever knew
How white a cherry bough could be,
A bed of squills, how blue.

Fields beneath a quilt of snow
From which the rocks and stubble sleep,
And in the west a shy white star

I lift my heart as spring lifts up
A yellow daisy to the rain;
My heart will be a lovely cup
Altho' it holds but pain.

If he could know my songs are all for him,
At silver dawn or in the evening glow,
Would he not smile and think it but a whim,

Oh if I were the velvet rose
Upon the red rose vine,
I'd climb to touch his window
And make his casement fine.

They never saw my lover's face,
They only know our love was brief,
Wearing awhile a windy grace
