The Wine Poem by Sara Teasdale

The Wine

Rating: 4.3


I CANNOT die, who drank delight
From the cup of the crescent moon,
And hungrily as men eat bread,
Loved the scented nights of June.
The rest may die—but is there not
Some shining strange escape for me
Who sought in Beauty the bright wine
Of immortality?

Marvellous poem. Death cannot approach a poet, so true a statement. And that Death could not, is corroborated by the fact that we read and Teasdale's poem even today, almost a century after her demise.
