A PRAYER (1) by SARA TEASDALE

Poet Analysis

First Line: UNTIL I LOSE MY SOUL AND LIE
Last Line: CARELESS IF I AM LOVED AGAIN.
Subject(s): PRAYER;
Until I lose my soul and lie
Blind to the beauty of the earth,
Deaf though shouting wind goes by,
Dumb in a storm of mirth;

Until my heart is quenched at length
And I have left the land of men,
Oh, let me love with all my strength
Careless if I am loved again.
