IMMORTAL by SARA TEASDALE

Poet Analysis

First Line: SO SOON MY BODY WILL HAVE GONE
Last Line: A WAVE THAT NEVER FINDS THE SHORE.
Subject(s): IMMORTALITY; RELIGION; THEOLOGY;
So soon my body will have gone
Beyond the sound and sight of men,
And tho' it wakes and suffers now,
Its sleep will be unbroken then;
But oh, my frail immortal soul
That will not sleep forevermore,
A leaf borne onward by the blast,
A wave that never finds the shore.
