Explore "A Song of the Princess" by Sara Teasdale on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The princess has her lovers, / A score of knights has she, / And each can sing a madrigal, / And praise her gracefully.
But Love that is so bitter / Hath put within her heart / A longing for the scornful knight / Who silent stands apart.
And tho' the others praise and plead, / She maketh no reply, / Yet for a single word from him, / I ween that she would die.
