Sara Teasdale — Oh Day of Fire and Sun

Oh day of fire and sun,        &nbsp Pure as a naked flame, Blue sea, blue sky and dun        &nbsp Sands where he spoke my name; Laughter and hearts so high        &nbsp That the spirit flew off free, Lifting into the sky        &nbsp Diving into the sea; Oh day of fire and sun        &nbsp Like a crystal burning, Slow days go one by one,        &nbsp But you have no returning.
