IT IS NOT I, by SARA TEASDALE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: It is not I they love Last Line: A thing as light as snow, as still as stone. Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs. | |||
It is not I they love Although they think they love me, It is that picture of themselves they see As though a mirror hung above me. I can reflect them with a grace That lets them talk and makes them shine, And if they tell their troubles to me I do not bother them with mine. It is not I they love, there is no I Except for you who have me for your own, And for the rest my heart may hide or seem A thing as light as snow, as still as stone. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IT WILL NOT CHANGE NOW by SARA TEASDALE LIKE BARLEY BENDING by SARA TEASDALE WHEN I AM NOT WITH YOU by SARA TEASDALE I HAVE SEEN THE SPRING' by SARA TEASDALE A LITTLE WHILE by SARA TEASDALE A MINUET OF MOZART'S by SARA TEASDALE |
