THE FALLING STAR by SARA TEASDALE

Poet Analysis

First Line: I SAW A STAR SLIDE DOWN THE SKY
Last Line: And then forever to be gone.
Subject(s): STARS;

I saw a star slide down the sky,
Blinding the north as it went by,
Too burning and too quick to hold,
Too lovely to be bought or sold,
Good only to make wishes on
And then forever to be gone.
