Explore "I am not Yours" by Sara Teasdale on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I AM not yours, not lost in you, / Not lost, altho' I long to be / Lost as a candle lit at noon, / Lost as a snow-flake in the sea.
You love me, and I find you still / A spirit beautiful and bright, / Yet I am I, who long to be / Lost as a light is lost in light.
Oh plunge me deep in love -- put out / My senses, leave me deaf and blind, / Swept by the tempest of your love, / A taper in a rushing wind.
