The Blind<\/h2>\n

by Sara Teasdale<\/p>\n

The birds are all a-building,
\nThey say the world’s a-flower,
\nAnd still I linger lonely
\nWithin a barren bower.<\/p>\n

I weave a web of fancies
\nOf tears and darkness spun.
\nHow shall I sing of sunlight
\nWho never saw the sun?<\/p>\n

I hear the pipes a-blowing,
\nBut yet I may not dance,
\nI know that Love is passing,
\nI cannot catch his glance.<\/p>\n

And if his voice should call me
\nAnd I with groping dim
\nShould reach his place of calling
\nAnd stretch my arms to him,<\/p>\n

The wind would blow between my hands
\nFor Joy that I shall miss,
\nThe rain would fall upon my mouth
\nThat his will never kiss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
