"It Will Not Change"
It will not change now
After so many years;
Life has not broken it
With parting or tears;
Death will not alter it,
It will live on
In all my songs for you
When I am gone.

Love. Heart. Soul. The essence of and memory of emotion. This is what Sarah's words say to me.
i don't like people who said they love me and they start
changing me. i love to be free.
Beautiful poem! It makes the reader wonder about what the poet is trying to convey. I enjoyed reading It
gud work of poetry with the reality of change
Profound words in a short poem that says so much about love never changes.
It will live on
In all my songs for you
When I am gone.
the essence of the question here is the 'It'
what it is that will live on? Her love? or hate? her despair? or her bliss?
she did not mention about 'it' anyway.
That is the mystery of her poem.
and that makes it interesting.
Actually, Michael Pruchnicki, Shakespeare's words are irrelevant and also longer. This is Sarah Teasdale's poetry and it's gorgeous.
Indeed poet's words are words! They are incorporated permanently in poems immortal!
In answer as 'Years Wash Away'
In my heart
I hold a love.
That years
may never wash
away nor parch.
In golden years.
In my heart
I hold a love.
SO DO I, it's so easy to be me.
