Dust lyrics

by

Sara Teasdale


When I went to look at what had long been hidden,
       &nbsp A jewel laid long ago in a secret place,
I trembled, for I thought to see its dark deep fire—
       &nbsp But only a pinch of dust blew up in my face.

I almost gave my life long ago for a thing
       &nbsp That has gone to dust now, stinging my eyes—
It is strange how often a heart must be broken
       &nbsp Before the years can make it wise.
