i don't belong to you
i am not yours, not lost in you,
not lost, although i long to be
lost as a candle lit at noon,
lost as a snowflake 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.
not lost, although i long to be
lost as a candle lit at noon,
lost as a snowflake 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.

Sara Teasdale - 1884-1933
I am not yours, not lost in you,
Not lost, although I long to be
Lost as a candle lit at noon,
Lost as a snowflake 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.
