NEVER AGAIN by SARA TEASDALE

Poet Analysis

First Line: NEVER AGAIN THE MUSIC BLOWN AS BRIGHTLY
Last Line: ALL I HAVE LOST OR NEVER FOUND AT ALL.
Never again the music blown as brightly
Off of my heart as foam blown off a wave;
Never again the melody that lightly
Caressed my grief and healed the wounds it gave.

Never again -- I hear my dark thoughts clashing
Sullen and blind as waves that beat a wall --
Age that is coming, summer that is going,
All I have lost or never found at all.
