Sara Teasdale - Alchemy

I lift my heart as spring lifts up <br />A yellow daisy to the rain; <br />My heart will be a lovely cup <br />Altho' it holds but pain. <br /> <br />For I shall learn from flower and leaf <br />That color every drop they hold, <br />To change the lifeless wine of grief <br />To living gold.<br /><br />Sara Teasdale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/alchemy/
