I know the stars
I know the stars by their names
Aldabaran, Altair, and I know the path they take
up heaven’s broad blue stair.

I know the secrets of men
By the look of their eyes
Their gray thoughts, Their strange thoughts
Have made me sad and wise

But your eyes are dark to me
Though they seem to call and call
I cannot tell if you love me or do not love me at all

I know many things, but the years come and go
I shall die not knowing the thing I long to know

~Written by Sarah Teasdale
One of my favorite poems
