Text

Pierrot

by Sara Teasdale

Pierrot stands in the garden

Beneath a waning moon,

And on his lute he fashions

A fragile silver tune.

Pierrot plays in the garden,

He thinks he plays for me,

But I am quite forgotten

Under the cherry tree.

Pierrot plays in the garden,

And all the roses know

That Pierrot loves his music, —

But I love Pierrot.
