WORDS FOR AN OLD AIR, by SARA TEASDALE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Your heart is bound tightly Last Line: For beauty's self to break. Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs. | |||
Your heart is bound tightly, let Beauty beware, It is not hers to set Free from the snare. Tell her a bleeding hand Bound it and tied it, Tell her the knot will stand Though she deride it; One who withheld so long All that you yearned to take, Has made a snare too strong For Beauty's self to break. | 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 |
