Spring Torrents



Will it always be like this until I am dead,

Every spring must I bear it all again

With the first red haze of the budding maple boughs,

And the first sweet-smelling rain?

Oh I am like a rock in the rising river

Where the flooded water breaks with a low call—

Like a rock that knows the cry of the waters

And cannot answer at all.

-Sara Teasdale
