Dagens dikt: ”I am not yours” av Sara Teasdale

En bortglömd pärla! ((Och ja – det ska vara citationstecken runt titeln, så är det med alla Teasdales dikter!))

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.
