Wind and hail and veering rain, <br />Driven mist that veils the day, <br />Soul's distress and body's pain, <br />I would bear you while I may. <br /> <br />I would love you if I might, <br />For so soon my life will be <br />Buried in a lasting night, <br />Even pain denied to me.<br /><br />Sara Teasdale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/while-i-may/
