Peace ~ Sara Teasdale

Peace Sara Teasdale PEACE flows into me        AS the tide to the pool by the shore;        It is mine forevermore,   It ebbs not back like the sea.   I am the pool of blue        That worships the vivid sky;        My hopes were heaven-high,   They are all fulfilled in you.   I am the pool of gold        When sunset burns and dies,—        You are my deepening skies,   Give me your stars to hold.
