DAY AND NIGHT by SARA TEASDALE

Poet Analysis

First Line: IN WARSAW IN POLAND
Last Line: Is half the world away
Subject(s): ABSENCE; LOVE; LONGING; SEPARATION; ISOLATION;
In Warsaw in Poland
Half the world away,
The one I love best of all
Thought of me to-day;
I know, for I went
Winged as a bird,
In the wide flowing wind
His own voice I heard;
His arms were round me
In a ferny place,
I looked in the pool
And there was his face
But now it is night
And the cold stars say:
Warsaw in Poland
Is half the world away."
