June Night

by Sara Teasdale

Fyodor Vasilyev, After a Heavy Rain, 1870

　　Oh Earth, you are too dear to-night, How can I sleep while all around Floats rainy fragrance and the far Deep voice of the ocean that talks to the ground? Oh Earth, you gave me all I have, I love you, I love you, oh what have I That I can give you in return Except my body after I die?
