Youth and the Pilgrim
Sara Teasdale
1884 to 1933
Gray pilgrim, you have journeyed far,
Swear on my sword to me,
Is there a land where Love is not,
By shore of any sea?
For I am weary of the god,
And I would flee from him
Though I must take a ship and go
Beyond the ocean's rim.
"There is a place where Love is not,
But never a ship leaves land
Can carry you so quickly there
As the sharp sword in your hand."
