EPITAPH, by SARA TEASDALE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Serene descent, as a red leaf's descending Last Line: Nor he awake to know she does not care. Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs. Subject(s): Epitaphs | |||
Serene descent, as a red leaf's descending When there is neither wind nor noise of rain, But only autumn air and the unending Drawing of all things to the earth again: So be it; let the snow sift deep and cover All that was drunken once with light and air; The earth will not regret her tireless lover, Nor he awake to know she does not care. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: RICHARD BONE by EDGAR LEE MASTERS AN EPITAPH, INTENDED FOR HIMSELF by JAMES BEATTIE EPITAPH: IN OBITUM M.S.
