A poem by Sara Teasdale

"There Will Come Soft Rains"

________________________________________________
Title:     "There Will Come Soft Rains"
Author: Sara Teasdale [More Titles by Teasdale]

(War Time)

There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;

And frogs in the pools singing at night,
And wild plum-trees in tremulous white;

Robins will wear their feathery fire
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;

And not one will know of the war, not one
Will care at last when it is done.

Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree
If mankind perished utterly;

And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn,
Would scarcely know that we were gone.




[The end]
Sara Teasdale's poem: "There Will Come Soft Rains"
