A Cry
Sara Teasdale
1884 to 1933
Oh, there are eyes that he can see,
And hands to make his hands rejoice,
But to my lover I must be
Only a voice.
Oh, there are breasts to bear his head,
And lips whereon his lips can lie,
But I must be till I am dead
Only a cry.
Sara Teasdale's A Cry
I am busy working to bring Sara Teasdale's "A Cry" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the home page for other musical arrangements or learn more about Sara Teasdale's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "A Cry" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
