and the difficulty we all face in life and death. Tony Giannotti

Love this poem by Sara. Honest, with true emotions on the Human condition and

Tony Giannotti

The sadness manifest in most of the poems of Sara Teasdale is more pronounced in this poem. Here her poetry finds expression, I believe, to her feelings when she is torn between her love for her husband Ernst Filsinger and her long time lover, poet Vachel Lindsay.

Part 4. The concluding lines convey the ultimate sadness the poet experiences while penning down this poem, indicates that death is her only solace, that could redeem her from her loneliness.

Part 3. The concluding lines that state, ‘my spirit…. keep me from the peace of those Who are not lonely, having died.

Part 2. The expression " the tired gray world" accentuates this feeling. Sara was, for sure, a great poet.

What a wonderful little poem! When she writes " In spite of all your tenderness, Sometimes I am not glad to live. " the melancholy feeling rubs on our hearts too. (Contd)

A deeply poignant poem yet beautifully crafted.

I am alone, in spite of love, In spite of all I take and give— In spite of all your tenderness, Sometimes I am not glad to live. feeling lonely while together. tony

You really help us speak out wat we feel that we cannot say out

Very nice poem. Your poem really speaks of the bitter aspect of human love: there is loneliness in spite of love. Your rhyme scheme which follows the pattern abcb is especially noticeable. The rhymes make the poem artistic. Besides, the poem dives into the depth of the overflow of the emotions.
