Treasure

By Louise Driscoll


WHAT will I remember and what will I forget?
Apple trees in blossom or wind at break of day?
I sang a song that no one heard—I shall be singing yet,
Out beyond the high stars and through the Milky Way!

One said he loved me and one said not a word,	5
You walked beside me and never heard me sing!
I waited in the darkness like a brooding bird,
And death came like a lover with a golden ring.
