My first encounter with sara teasdale, a very underrated poet In my opinion, was with the poem "moonlight"

But beauty itself is fugitive,

Lovely Chance
O Lovely chance, what can I do
To give my gratefulness to you?
You rise between myself and me,

Many a holy gift you gave me.
Music and friends and happy love,
