I WOULD LIVE IN YOUR LOVE by SARA TEASDALE

Poet Analysis

First Line: I WOULD LIVE IN YOUR LOVE AS THE SEA-GRASSES LIVE IN THE SEA
Last Line: AS IT LEADS.
Subject(s): LOVE;

I would live in your love as the sea-grasses live in the sea,
Borne up by each wave as it passes, drawn down
by each wave that recedes;
I would empty my soul of the dreams that have gathered in me,
I would beat with your heart as it beats,
I would follow your soul
as it leads.
