Nightfall

We will never walk again

As we used to walk at night,

Watching our shadows lengthen

Under the gold street-light

When the snow was new and white.

We will never walk again

Slowly, we two,

In spring when the park is sweet

With midnight and with dew,

And the passers-by are few.

I sit and think of it all,

And the blue June twilight dies,—

Down in the clanging square

A street-piano cries

And stars come out in the skies.

-Sara Teasdale
