TO E. IN SWITZERLAND by SARA TEASDALE

Poet Analysis

First Line: I LIKE TO THINK OF YOU AMONG STILL MOUNTAINS
Last Line: LIFE, ITS VAST TRIFLES AND YOURSELF AND ME.
I like to think of you among still mountains
Wearing bright immemorial capes of snow,
In their unbroken ancient meditation
Far above noise and struggle of things that grow.

I like to think at last your hurried spirit
Has found a cold white hour of calm to see,
As though you looked into a polished crystal,
Life, its vast trifles and yourself and me.
