| 361. The Flight |
| | | By Sara Teasdale |
| |
| |
| LOOK back with longing eyes and know that I will follow, | |
| Lift me up in your love as a light wing lifts a swallow, | |
| Let our flight be far in sun or windy rain— | |
| But what if I heard my first love calling me again? | |
| |
| Hold me on your heart as the brave sea holds the foam, | 5 |
| Take me far away to the hills that hide your home; | |
| Peace shall thatch the roof and love shall latch the door— | |
| But what if I heard my first love calling me once more? | |
| |
