Oh, Day of Fire and Sun!

Oh, Day of Fire and Sun,
Pure as a naked flame,
Blue sea, blue sky and dun
Sands where he spoke my name;

Laughter and hearts so high
That the spirit flew off free,
Lifting into the sky
Diving into the sea;

Oh, Day of Fire and Sun
Like a crystal burning,
Slow days go one by one,
But you have no returning.

Sara Teasdale
