Sara Teasdale (1884-1933)

Faults


              1They came to tell your faults to me,
              2They named them over one by one;
              3I laughed aloud when they were done,
              4I knew them all so well before, --
              5Oh, they were blind, too blind to see
              6Your faults had made me love you more.
