BURIED LOVE, by SARA TEASDALE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: I shall bury my weary love Last Line: When none will know. Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs. Subject(s): Love | |||
I have come to bury Love I shall bury my weary Love Beneath a tree, Beneath a tree, In the forest tall and black In the forest tall and black Where none can see Where none can see. I shall put no flowers at his head, I shall put no flowers at his head, Nor stone at his feet, For the mouth I loved so much Nor stone at his feet, Was bittersweet. For the mouth I loved so much I shall go no more to his grave, Was bittersweet. For the woods are cold. I shall gather as much of joy I shall go no more to his grave, As my hands can hold. For the woods are cold. I shall stay all day in the sun I shall gather as much of joy Where the wide winds blow, As my hands can hold. But oh, I shall cry at night When none will know. I shall stay all day in the sun Where the wide winds blow, But oh, I shall weep at night When none will know. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD |
