There never was a mood of mine,
Gay or heart-broken, luminous or dull,
But you could ease me of its fever
And give it back to me more beutiful.
In many another soul I broke the bread,
And drank the wine and played the happy guest,
But I was lonely, I remembered you;
The heart belong to him who knew it best.

Kay is correct. You can know if you read her biography. It isnt about Christ. This is a beautiful poem and is so very true.
all hail to Teasdale. AMAZING.
well i might be wrong, and i don not know anything about sara Teasdale, but i believe that he poem is a allusion to crist. i came to this conclusion when she mentioned the bread and wine, and the way her moods were made better. (even when happy) feel free to diagree with me though.
I think this poem is written about Vahcel who was Sara’s first love and whom she choose not to marry. In a love less marriage, it was her longing for life with him that fueled the inspiration for her poem.
IT WAS GOOD I THINK
i love it
