Epilogue: Why I Do Not Weep Sara Teasdale
Christopher H. Harris
They never saw my lover's face, they only know our love was brief, wearing a while a windy grace and passing like an autumn leaf. They wonder why I do not weep, they think it strange that I can sing, they say "Her love was scarcely deep, since it as left so slight a sting." They never saw my love, nor knew that in my heart's most secret place I pity them as angels do men who have never seen God's face. --Sara Teasdale
