Offering and Rebuff

by Carl Sandburg

I could love you as dry roots love rain. I could hold you as branches in the wind brandish petals. Forgive me for speaking so soon.

Let your heart look on white sea spray and be lonely.

Love is a fool star.

You and a ring of stars may mention my name and then forget me.

Love is a fool star.

Let your heart look on white sea spray and be lonely.

Love is a fool star.

Carl Sandburg, from Offering and Rebuff
