Sara Teasdale: Quote for July 24, 2008

When I am dead, and over me bright April
Shakes out her rain drenched hair,
Tho you should lean above me broken hearted,
I shall not care.
For I shall have peace.
As leafy trees are peaceful
When rain bends down the bough.
And I shall be more silent and cold hearted
Than you are now.

-- Sara Teasdale

from: Suicide note to her lover who left her. (1933)
