DEEP IN THE NIGHT by SARA TEASDALE

Poet Analysis

First Line: DEEP IN THE NIGHT THE CRY OF A SWALLOW
Last Line: STILLED BY THE STARS AT NIGHT.
Subject(s): NIGHT; BEDTIME;
DEEP in the night the cry of a swallow,
Under the stars he flew,
Keen as pain was his call to follow
Over the world to you.

Love in my heart is a cry forever
Lost as the swallow's flight,
Seeking for you and never, never
Stilled by the stars at night.
