BUT NOT TO ME by SARA TEASDALE

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE APRIL NIGHT IS STILL AND SWEET
Last Line: BUT NOT TO ME.
Subject(s): LOVE;
The April night is still and sweet
With flowers on every tree;
Peace comes to them on quiet feet,
But not to me.

My peace is hidden in his breast
Where I shall never be,
Love comes to-night to all the rest,
But not to me.
