Bliss Carman · Sappho: One Hundred Lyrics

Poem 46 of 100 · Book I

I seek and desire,

— ✻ —

I seek and desire,
Even as the wind
That travels the plain
And stirs in the bloom
Of the apple-tree.

I wander through life,
With the searching mind
That is never at rest,
Till I reach the shade
Of my lover’s door.
