BLUE STARGRASS by SARA TEASDALE

Poet Analysis

First Line: IF WE TOOK THE OLD PATH
Last Line: BY THE PATH AGAIN.

If we took the old path
In the old field
The same gate would stand there
That will never yield.

Where the sun warmed us
With a cloak made of gold,
The rain would be falling
And the wind would be cold;

And we would stop to search
In the wind and the rain,
But we would not find the stargrass
By the path again.
