WRECKAGE by SARA TEASDALE

Poet Analysis

First Line: LOVE ME LESS OR MORE
Last Line: ON THE OCEAN'S FLOOR.
Love me less or more,
Stay or let us part,
All that you can do
Is to break my heart.

Sink my ship of love
With its freight of gold,
Break it with black winds
Where the sea is cold.

Still beneath the storms
Miles and miles from shore
There is the buried gold
On the ocean's floor.
