A Maiden Lyrics by Sara Teasdale

Helen of Troy and Other Poems

0

Oh if I were the velvet rose
   Upon the red rose vine,
I'd climb to touch his window
   And make his casement fine.
And if I were the little bird
   That twitters on the tree,
All day I'd sing my love for him
   Till he should harken me.
But since I am a maiden
   I go with downcast eyes,
And he will never hear the songs
   That he has turned to sighs.
And since I am a maiden
   My love will never know
That I could kiss him with a mouth
   More red than roses blow.
