Question:
Do you like this poem?
There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
And swollws circling in their shimmering sound;
And frog in the pools singing at night,
And wild plum trees in tremulous white;
Robins will wear their feathery fire,
Whistling their whims on a low fence wire;
And not one will know of the war,
Not one will care at last when it is done;
Not one will mind, neither bird nor tree,
If mankind perished utterly;
And spring herself, when she woke at dawn
Would scarcely know that we were gone.

Sorry sound have put it in......taken by her work as feel she was ahead of her time.
Answers:
Yes, I love Sara Teasdale’s work - so delicate yet it really hits home. I think her work is very feminine in the sense of subtle beauty with great underlying strength. Thanks for reminding me of that poem.
