A CRY by SARA TEASDALE

Poet Analysis

First Line: OH, THERE ARE EYES THAT HE CAN SEE
Last Line: ONLY A CRY.
Oh, there are eyes that he can see,
And hands to make his hands rejoice,
But to my lover I must be
Only a voice.

Oh, there are breasts to bear his head,
And lips whereon his lips can lie,
But I must be till I am dead
Only a cry.
