A poem by Sara Teasdale

Wisdom [When I have ceased to break my wings]

________________________________________________
Title:     Wisdom [When I have ceased to break my wings]
Author: Sara Teasdale [More Titles by Teasdale]

When I have ceased to break my wings
Against the faultiness of things,
And learned that compromises wait
Behind each hardly opened gate,
When I can look Life in the eyes,
Grown calm and very coldly wise,
Life will have given me the Truth,
And taken in exchange--my youth.






[The end]
Sara Teasdale's poem: Wisdom
