"Did You Never Know?"

User Rating:

7.9 /10
(80 votes)



  Did you never know, long ago, how much you loved me --
That your love would never lessen and never go?
You were young then, proud and fresh-hearted,
You were too young to know.

Fate is a wind, and red leaves fly before it
Far apart, far away in the gusty time of year --
Seldom we meet now, but when I hear you speaking,
I know your secret, my dear, my dear.

Sarah Teasdale

This piece speaks of lasting love and tragedy. A great poem... I love her 'style.'

Sometimes fate just isn't meant to be, but sometimes you can find a degree of comfort in just knowing.
  Gladys Mcdowell  (3/18/2005 8:45:00 PM)

that is the kind of poems i love to hear. it is very emotional to me. i never heard a poem that was emotional. this poem is the best. keep up the great work.
  Faith Elizabeth Brigham  (11/7/2004 7:43:00 PM)

Now here is a great poem...i have often said there is much to value in simplicity and brevity and this poetess embraces both...there is a delicate flow to this wonderful love poem and yet it is powerful in it's delivery. This is good strong poetry.
