Embers by Sarah Teasdale
I said, 'My youth is gone Like a fire beaten out by the rain, That will never sway and sing Or play with the wind again.'
I said, 'It is no great sorrow That quenched my youth in me, But only little sorrows Beating ceaselessly.'
I thought my youth was gone, But you returned -- Like a flame at the call of the wind It leaped and burned;
Threw off its ashen cloak, And gowned anew Gave itself like a bride Once more to you.
