What I know about the poetess I love to read her heart touching poems. Her love for beautiful things appeared in her poetry. She was very talented, and I am glad she shared her talent with us.

A poem that touches the core of the heart. Loved it.
A very sweet poem that touches the heart. Loved it.
Short and sweet. I don't care much for a lot of her work, but I like this one.
My heart is heavy with many a song Like ripe fruit bearing down the tree, But I can never give you one - My songs do not belong to me.
CONTINUED: Top Marks for her lovely poem. I love to read oft Sara Teasdale's poems, true finesse and heart-touching in a subtle way
