My Heart is Heavy

By Sara Teasdale


From “Memories” MY heart is heavy with many a song,
Like ripe fruit bearing down the tree;
And I can never give you one—
My songs do not belong to me.

Yet in the evening, in the dusk	5
When moths go to and fro,
In the gray hour if the fruit has fallen,
Take it—no one will know.
