A continuing selection of classic and contemporary poems.

Sara Teasdale

What do I owe to you
 Who loved me deep and long?
You never gave my spirit wings
 Or gave my heart a song.

But oh, to him I loved,
 Who loved me not at all,
I owe the open gate
 That led through heaven’s wall.

What are tags?
Tags, sometimes called “folksonomies,” are words that describe or categorize a poem, like “20th century modernism” or “Italian sonnet”. Tags can help you find poems that have something in common, based on how other people classify them.
