I COULD SNATCH A DAY, by SARA TEASDALE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: I could snatch a day out of the late autumn Last Line: Waiting for nothing at all. Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs. | |||
I could snatch a day out of the late autumn And set it trembling like forgotten springs. There would be sharp blue skies and new leaves shining, And flying shadows cast by flying wings. I could take the heavy wheel of the world and break it -- But we sit brooding while the ashes fall, Cowering over an old fire that blackens, Waiting for nothing at all. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A LITTLE WHILE by SARA TEASDALE A MINUET OF MOZART'S by SARA TEASDALE A WINTER BLUEJAY by SARA TEASDALE |
