The Poetry Project: Sara Teasdale



This month's Poetry Project guideline says to post a Pulitzer winner's poem, a perfect excuse to revisit Sara Teasdale.


             I Shall Not Care

When I am dead and over me bright April
    Shakes out her rain-drenched hair,
Tho' you should lean above me broken-hearted,
    I shall not care.
I shall have peace, as leafy trees are peaceful
    When rain bends down the bough,
And I shall be more silent and cold-hearted
    Than you are now.
