“Dusk in Autumn” by Sara Teasdale

By Luke Stromberg • October 31, 2021 • E-Verse Universe

The moon is like a scimitar,
A little silver scimitar,
A-drifting down the sky.
And near beside it is a star,
A timid twinkling golden star,
That watches likes an eye. 

And thro’ the nursery window-pane
The witches have a fire again,
Just like the ones we make,—
And now I know they’re having tea,
I wish they’d give a cup to me,
With witches’ currant cake.


Sara Teasdale is the author of seven collections of poetry and was a critical and commercial success in the early 20th century. In 1918, her book Love Songs won the first Columbia Poetry Prize, a prize that would subsequently be known as the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.
