VIGNETTES OVERSEAS: 11. HAMBURG by SARA TEASDALE

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE DAY THAT I COME HOME
Last Line: BEATING UNDER THE FOAM.
Subject(s): HAMBURG, GERMANY; HOMECOMING;
The day that I come home,
What will you find to say,--
Words as light as foam
With laughter light as spray?

Yet say what words you will
The day that I come home;
I shall hear the whole deep ocean
Beating under the foam.
