"I Thought of You"

I thought of you and how you love this beauty,
And walking up the long beach all alone
I heard the waves breaking in measured thunder
As you and I once heard their monotone.

Around me were the echoing dunes, beyond me
The cold and sparkling silver of the sea --
We two will pass through death and ages lengthen
Before you hear that sound again with me.

I love the writing of Sarah Teasdale and am surprised that she has fallen out of favor with anthologists. I shall always love her poetry. It is sad that the romanticism she expressed in her poetry seemed to elude her in life; the imagination is always much more powerful than reality, and the sublime beauty of the object of one's affection in the mind's eye is rarely reciprocated in real life.

The first verse is but a dream of me and thee while the second reminds me of what is not to be! HRL
