VIGNETTES OVERSEAS: 7. ROME by SARA TEASDALE

Poet Analysis

First Line: OH FOR THE RISING MOON
Last Line: WITH UNREMEMBERED THINGS?
Subject(s): ROME, ITALY;
Oh for the rising moon
Over the roofs of Rome,
And swallows in the dusk
Circling a darkened dome!
Oh for the measured dawns
That pass with folded wings--
How can I let them go
With unremembered things?
