THE HAPPY NIGHT

I have loved to-night; from love's last bordering steep
I have fallen at last with joy and forgotten the shore;
I have known my love to-night as never before,
I have flung myself in the deep, and drawn from the deep,
And kissed her lightly, and left my beloved to sleep.
And now I sit in the night and my heart is still:
Strong and secure; there is nothing that's left to will,
There is nothing to win but only a thing to keep.

And I look to-night, completed and not afraid,
Into the windy dark where shines no light;
And care not at all though the darkness never should fade,
Nor fear that death should suddenly come to-night.
Knowing my last would be surely my bravest breath,
I am happy to-night: I have laughed to-night at death.

Ballads and Lyrics (1892) II. Sheep and Lambs




ALL in the April evening,

April airs were abroad;

The sheep with their little lambs

Passed me by on the road.



The sheep with their little lambs		5

Passed me by on the road;

All in the April evening,

I thought on the Lamb of God.



The lambs were weary, and crying

With a weak, human cry.		10

I thought on the Lamb of God

Going meekly to die.



Up in the blue, Click here

Dewy pastures are sweet;

Rest for the little bodies,		15

Rest for the little feet.



But for the Lamb of God,

Up on the hill-top green,

Only a Cross of shame

Two stark crosses between.		20



All in the April evening.

April airs were abroad;

I saw the sheep with their lambs

And thought on the Lamb of God.

Bonus Poem:

Spring

To what purpose, April, do you return again?
Beauty is not enough.
You can no longer quiet me with the redness
Of little leaves opening stickily.
I know what I know.
The sun is hot on my neck as I observe
The spikes of the crocus.
The smell of the earth is good.
It is apparent that there is no death
But what does that signify?
Not only under the ground are the brains of men
Eaten by maggots.
Life in itself
Is nothing,
An empty cup, a flight of uncarpeted stairs.
It is not enough that yearly, down this hill,
April
Comes like an idiot, babbling and strewing Click here

Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950
