WISDOM (1), by SARA TEASDALE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: It was a night of early spring Last Line: It is the things we have that go. Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs. Subject(s): Wisdom | |||
It-was a night of early spring, The winter-sleep was scarcely broken; Around us shadows and the wind Listened for what was never spoken. Though half a score of years are gone, Spring comes as sharply now as then -- But if we had it all to do It would be done the same again. It was a spring that never came, But we have lived enough to know What we have never had, remains; It is the things we have that go. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HOPE IS NOT FOR THE WISE by ROBINSON JEFFERS SEVEN TWILIGHTS: 5 by CONRAD AIKEN SONG: NOW THAT SHE IS HERE; FOR JOE-ANNE by HAYDEN CARRUTH WISE: HAVING THE ABILITY TO PERCEIVE AND ADOPT THE BEST by LUCILLE CLIFTON WISDOM COMETH WITH THE YEARS by COUNTEE CULLEN FOR RANDALL JARRELL, 1914-1965 by NORMAN DUBIE THE MORTAL WORDS OF ZWEIK by PHILIP LEVINE |
