AT A PARTY by SARA TEASDALE

Poet Analysis

First Line: IN THE HOT AND CROWDED ROOM
Last Line: I WAS AWARE OF YOU.
Subject(s): PARTIES;
In the hot and crowded room
Speech was roaring like the sea --
Terribly, beautifully,
I knew you were aware of me.

Amid the bright shoulders and the black
Of evening coats, one thing I knew --
Beautifully, terribly,
I was aware of you.
