Sara Teasdale: Other Men
Sara Teasdale
(1884 – 1933)
Other Men
When I talk with other men
I always think of you–
Your words are keener than their words,
And they are gentler, too.
When I look at other men,
I wish your face were there,
With its gray eyes and dark skin
And tossed black hair.
When I think of other men,
Dreaming alone by day,
The thought of you like a strong wind
Blows the dreams away.
