Jewels lyrics

by

Sara Teasdale


If I should see your eyes again,
  I know how far their look would go—
Back to a morning in the park
  With sapphire shadows on the snow.

Or back to oak trees in the spring
  When you unloosed my hair and kissed
The head that lay against your knees
  In the leaf shadow's amethyst.

And still another shining place
  We would remember—how the dun
Wild mountain held us on its crest
  One diamond morning white with sun.

But I will turn my eyes from you
  As women turn to put away
The jewels they have worn at night
  And cannot wear in sober day.
