A continuing selection of classic and contemporary poems.

Sara Teasdale

A wind is blowing over my soul,
 I hear it cry the whole night thro’—
Is there no peace for me on earth
 Except with you?

Alas, the wind has made me wise,
 Over my naked soul it blew,—
There is no peace for me on earth
 Even with 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.
