SLEEPLESS, by SARA TEASDALE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: If I could have your arms tonight Last Line: As sleepless as the rain. Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs. | |||
If I could have your arms tonight -- But half the world and the broken sea Lie between you and me. The autumn rain reverberates in the courtyard, Beating all night against the barren stone, The sound of useless rain in the desolate courtyard Makes me more alone. If you were here, if you were only here -- My blood cries out to you all night in vain As sleepless as the rain. | 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 |
