IN MEMORIAM: F.O.S. by SARA TEASDALE

Poet Analysis

First Line: YOU GO A LONG AND LOVELY JOURNEY
Last Line: FAR PAST THE BIRTHPLACE OF THE SUN?
Subject(s): FUTURE LIFE;
You go a long and lovely journey,
For all the stars, like burning dew,
Are luminous and luring footprints
Of souls adventurous as you.

Oh, if you lived on earth elated,
How is it now that you can run
Free of the weight of flesh and faring
Far past the birthplace of the sun?
