ALCHEMY by SARA TEASDALE

Poet Analysis

First Line: I LIFT MY HEART AS SPRING LIFTS UP
Last Line: TO LIVING GOLD.
Subject(s): HOPE; OPTIMISM;
I LIFT my heart as spring lifts up
A yellow daisy to the rain;
My heart will be a lovely cup
Altho' it holds but pain.

For I shall learn from flower and leaf
That color every drop they hold,
To change the lifeless wine of grief
To living gold.
