OTHER MEN by SARA TEASDALE

Poet Analysis

First Line: WHEN I TALK WITH OTHER MEN
Last Line: BLOWS THE DREAMS AWAY.

When I talk with other men
I always think of you --
Your words are keener than their words,
And they are gentler, too.

When I look at other men,
I wish your face were there,
With its gray eyes and dark skin
And tossed black hair.

When I think of other men,
Dreaming alone by day,
The thought of you like a strong wind
Blows the dreams away.
