A continuing selection of classic and contemporary poems.

Sara Teasdale

You bound strong sandals on my feet,
 You gave me bread and wine,
And sent me under sun and stars,
 For all the world was mine.

Oh, take the sandals off my feet,
 You know not what you do;
For all my world is in your arms,
 My sun and stars are you.

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.
