Sara Teasdale - Buried Love

I have come to bury Love
 Beneath a tree,
In the forest tall and black
 Where none can see.

I shall put no flowers at his head,
 Nor stone at his feet,
For the mouth I loved so much
 Was bittersweet.

I shall go no more to his grave,
 For the woods are cold.
I shall gather as much of joy
 As my hands can hold.

I shall stay all day in the sun
 Where the wide winds blow, --
But oh, I shall cry at night
 When none will know.

This is one of my favorite poems that Sara Teasdale has written. The first time I read it, I felt like she was talking for me. Although many may think it has to do with the death of one she loved. I think that it also can mean she had to leave her love behind and bury it Susan from United States Comment 2 of 4, added on May 22nd, 2005 at 5:52 PM. the poem Buried Love is so deep that even if you dont relate to it this pome has its way of still getting to you I Love this poem I to have Buried Love Iccess from United States More Comments >> Are you looking for more information on this poem?
