Oh Day Of Fire And Sun Poem by Sara Teasdale
Oh Day Of Fire And Sun
Oh day of fire and sun,
Pure as a naked flame,
Blue sea, blue sky and dun
Sands where he spoke my name;
Laughter and hearts so high
That the spirit flew off free,
Lifting into the sky
Diving into the sea;
Oh day of fire and sun
Like a crystal burning,
Slow days go one by one,
But you have no returning.
Unlike many of Teasdale's other works that delve into themes of love, loss, and longing, this piece focuses purely on the pure joy of a fleeting moment.
This poem captures a moment of intense joy and liberation set against the backdrop of a vibrant natural scene. It evokes a sense of boundless freedom and exhilaration through imagery of fiery sunlight, the vastness of the sea and sky, and the inviting coastal landscape.
