RED MAPLES, by SARA TEASDALE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: In the last year I have learned Last Line: That is born out of agony? Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs. Subject(s): Maple Trees | |||
In the last year I have learned How few men are worth my trust; I have seen the friend I loved Struck by death into the dust, And fears I never knew before Have knocked and knocked upon my door -- "I shall hope little and ask for less," I said, "There is no happiness." I have grown wise at last -- but how Can I hide the gleam on the willow-bough, Or keep the fragrance out of the rain Now that April is here again? When maples stand in a haze of fire What can I say to the old desire, What shall I do with the joy in me That is born out of agony? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...RED MAPLE LEAVES by KENNETH REXROTH MAPLES IN A SPRUCE FOREST by JOHN UPDIKE VERSES FOR CHILDREN: MAPLE TREE by ZEDA K.
