The Sanctuary

Title:     The Sanctuary
Author: Sara Teasdale [More Titles by Teasdale]

If I could keep my innermost Me
Fearless, aloof and free
Of the least breath of love or hate,
And not disconsolate
At the sick load of sorrow laid on men;
If I could keep a sanctuary there
Free even of prayer,
If I could do this, then,
With quiet candor as I grew more wise
I could look even at God with grave forgiving eyes.

[The end]
Sara Teasdale's poem: Sanctuary
