If I should see your eyes again, <br /> I know how far their look would go -- <br />Back to a morning in the park <br /> With sapphire shadows on the snow. <br /> <br />Or back to oak trees in the spring <br /> When you unloosed my hair and kissed <br />The head that lay against your knees <br /> In the leaf shadow's amethyst. <br /> <br />And still another shining place <br /> We would remember -- how the dun <br />Wild mountain held us on its crest <br /> One diamond morning white with sun. <br /> <br />But I will turn my eyes from you <br /> As women turn to put away <br />The jewels they have worn at night <br /> And cannot wear in sober day. <br /> <br /> <br />Submitted by Venus<br /><br />Sara Teasdale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/jewels/
