THE UNSEEN by SARA TEASDALE

Poet Analysis

First Line: DEATH WENT UP THE HALL
Last Line: But he entered one
Subject(s): DEATH; DEAD, THE;
Death went up the hall
Unseen by every one,
Trailing twilight robes
Past the nurse and the nun.
He paused at every door
And listened to the breath
Of those who did not know
How near they were to Death.
Death went up the hall
Unseen by nurse and nun;
He passed by many a door
But he entered one.
