I REMEMBERED by SARA TEASDALE

Poet Analysis

First Line: THERE WAS NEVER A MOOD OF MINE
Last Line: THE HEART BELONGS TO HIM WHO KNOWS IT BEST.
Subject(s): LOVE;
THERE never was a mood of mine,
Gay or heart-broken, luminous or dull,
But you could ease me of its fever
And give it back to me more beautiful.

In many another soul I broke the bread,
And drank the wine and played the happy guest,
But I was lonely, I remembered you;
The heart belongs to him who knows it best.
