JOY

by: Sara Teasdale (1884-1933)

      AM wild, I will sing to the trees,
      I will sing to the stars in the sky,
      I love, I am loved, he is mine,
      Now at last I can die!
       
      I am sandaled with wind and with flame,
      I have heart-fire and singing to give,
      I can tread on the grass or the stars,
      Now at last I can live!

"Joy" is reprinted from Anthology of Magazine Verse for 1915. Ed. William Stanley Braithwaite. New York: Gomme & Marshall, 1915.
