I Am Not Yours by Sara Teasdale


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.
