LIKE BARLEY BENDING by SARA TEASDALE

Poet Analysis

Last Line: Change my sorrow / Into song
Subject(s): BARLEY; GRIEF; SONG;
Like barley bending
In low fields by the sea,
Singing in hard wind
Ceaselessly;

Like barley bending
And rising again,
So would I, unbroken,
Rise from pain;

So would I softly,
Day long, night long,
Change my sorrow
Into song.
