Sara Teasdale - A Cry

Oh, there are eyes that he can see,
 And hands to make his hands rejoice,
But to my lover I must be
 Only a voice.

Oh, there are breasts to bear his head,
 And lips whereon his lips can lie,
But I must be till I am dead
 Only a cry.

L from United States Comment 1 of 2, added on May 24th, 2005 at 1:46 PM. I think this whole poem is about her life, because the last part was about her suicide, but it still explian her life with Ernst. sincerly Latara (blank) Latara from Canada More Comments >> Are you looking for more information on this poem?
