"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.

    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.
