Love Poem

Love and Death



Shall we, too, rise forgetful from our sleep,

And shall my soul that lies within your hand

Remember nothing, as the blowing sand

Forgets the palm where long blue shadows creep

When winds along the darkened desert sweep?



Or would it still remember, tho' it spanned

A thousand heavens, while the planets fanned

The vacant ether with their voices deep?

Soul of my soul, no word shall be forgot,

Nor yet alone, beloved, shall we see



The desolation of extinguished suns,

Nor fear the void wherethro' our planet runs,

For still together shall we go and not

Fare forth alone to front eternity.

I believe Love and Death, writen by Sara Teasdale, is mostly talking about not forgetting love, maybe between her and someone else or just the thought of forgeting the feel of love. I think she's just pondering losing love and wishing to keep it, then vowing to keep it.
The metaphor I found was "the desolation of extinguished suns.." This is comparing their love to a extinguished suns.

K...bye.
