I am not yours, not lost in you, <br />Not lost, although I long to be <br />Lost as a candle lit at noon, <br />Lost as a snowflake in the sea. <br /> <br />You love me, and I find you still <br />A spirit beautiful and bright, <br />Yet I am I, who long to be <br />Lost as a light is lost in light. <br /> <br />Oh plunge me deep in love--put out <br />My senses, leave me deaf and blind, <br />Swept by the tempest of your love, <br />A taper in a rushing wind.<br /><br />Sara Teasdale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-not-yours-2/
