February Twilight / Sara Teasdale


February Twilight

I stood beside a hill
Smooth with new-laid snow,
A single star looked out
From the cold evening glow.

There was no other creature
That saw what I could see –
I stood and watched the evening star
As long as it watched me.

~~
Sara Teasdale (1884-1933)
from Dark of the Moon, 1926
