  After Death

User Rating:

6.6 /10
(60 votes)



  Now while my lips are living
Their words must stay unsaid,
And will my soul remember
To speak when I am dead?

Yet if my soul remembered
You would not heed it, dear,
For now you must not listen,
And then you could not hear.


Sara Teasdale

A wry, pithy poem of exceptional merit- also very amusing.
