is the source of your smile, but 

sometimes your smile can be 

the source of your joy"

I watch a leaf settle down

In a bed of brown.

I lift my eyes and all is born again.”

The Collected Poem

“Stephen kissed me in the spring,

Robin in the fall,

But Colin only looked at me

And never kissed at all.

Stephen’s kiss was lost in jest,

Robin’s lost in play,

But the kiss in Colin’s eyes

Haunts me night and day.” 

~Sara Teasdale
