Sara Teasdale, comp. (1884–1933).
The Answering Voice: One Hundred Love Lyrics by Women. 1917.
Zoë Akins
I
You are the certain land;
I am the shadow that passes
Over the sand.
You—the unshaken tree;
You are the stars that are steadfast,
I am the sea.
Like a torch I shall die….
You are the surge of deep music.
I—but a cry!
