HAUSER - Mia & Sebastian’s Theme (La La Land)
Spring Night
THE park is filled with night and fog,
Gold and gleaming the empty streets,
Oh, is it not enough to be
O beauty, are you not enough?
I, for whom the pensive night
Sara Teasdale
The veils are drawn about the world,
The drowsy lights along the paths
Are dim and pearled.
Gold and gleaming the misty lake,
The mirrored lights like sunken swords,
Glimmer and shake.
Here with this beauty over me?
My throat should ache with praise, and I
Should kneel in joy beneath the sky.
Why am I crying after love,
With youth, a singing voice, and eyes
To take earth's wonder with surprise?
Why have I put off my pride,
Why am I unsatisfied,—
Binds her cloudy hair with light,—
I, for whom all beauty burns
Like incense in a million urns?
O beauty, are you not enough?
Why am I crying after love?
Dew
AS dew leaves the cobweb lightly
As dawn leaves the dry grass bright
So has your love, my lover,
IT is enough for me by day
I do not hope to bind the wind
I HAVE no riches but my thoughts,
And I must spend them all in song,
Sara Teasdale
Threaded with stars,
Scattering jewels on the fence
And the pasture bars;
And the tangled weeds
Bearing a rainbow gem
On each of their seeds;
Fresh as the dawn,
Made me a shining road
To travel on,
Set every common sight
Of tree or stone
Delicately alight
For me alone.
Enough
To walk the same bright earth with him;
Enough that over us by night
The same great roof of stars is dim.
Or set a fetter on the sea --
It is enough to feel his love
Blow by like music over me.
Riches
Yet these are wealth enough for me;
My thoughts of you are golden coins
Stamped in the mint of memory;
For thoughts, as well as gold, must be
Left on the hither side of death
To gain their immortality.
