Up since 2am today and not feeling particularly peppy. Instead of something new...here's an old favorite by Madeline L'Engle. I'm not sure why but it resonated with me in high school and it's the only poem that know by heart.
My love is lost and so I stay
I count not cost
Nor look for ways
To love again
For I love still
And sun and rain
And night and Days
My heart have tossed a thousand ways
For love like light
Cannot be caught
Fingers closed tight
Hold naught
- Madeline L'Engle
Hi, Juliet!
ReplyDeleteI too memorized this in high school ... 45 years ago ... though remember it slightly differently. Wonderful poem:
My love is lost
And so it stays
I count not cost
Nor look for ways
To love again
For I love still
And love is pain
And pain is nought
And love like light
Cannot be caught
And suns and rains
And nights and days
My heart have tossed
A thousand ways
For love like light
Cannot be caught
Fingers clenched tight
Hold naught.
