 [minstrels] Water Lilies -- Sara Teasdale
Teasdale's quiet, understated style fits her subject beautifully - the "dark lake among mountains in the afternoon shade" is a perfectly self-contained image that draws the reader into an almost enchanted scene, and makes the last line not just plausible but believable.
From: sandi_ordinario@ Comments on Waterlilies by Sara Teasdale It may have something to do with her missing the poet Vachel Lindsay who in a biography of hers (can't remember by whom)she had a love affair.
"But if you remember, then turn again forever to the plains and the prairies where pools are far apart." Teasdale uses the imagery of waterlilies to call back her lover and yet she says if he remembers that image, he should go far from this kind of locale (to plains and prairies...no water...pools far apart).

 Neglected Poet: Sara Teasdale
Sara Teasdale is a much neglected American poet, whose lyrics have brought beauty and comfort to many young women suffering the pain of lost love.
It is, no doubt in part, the intense personal nature of her work that is responsible for her current lack of readership, and also the negativity of the confessionals along with the over-all doom-saying voices of twentieth-century American poetry that have contributed to the overshadowing of this poet's art.
One of her most anthologized poems is "Barter," which in 1963 appeared in the second edition of Laurence Perrine's widely studied Sound and Sense; Perrine remained loyal to the poem, including it until the eight edition.

 Sara Teasdale.
Besides the many sonnets, Teasdale includes poems of 3-stanza quatrains and of a single 6-line stanza.
Teasdale apparently though that these poems are about nature, rather than about love or death (at least on the surface), would be of more interest to children rather than adults.
Only the spirit shall awake to say What the deep says to the deep; But for an instance, for it too is fleeting— As on a field with new snow everywhere, Footprints of birds record a brief alighting In flight begun and ended in the air.

Aside from some new poems ("You smile at me/As though I were a little dreamy child/Behind whose eyes the fairies live..."), Teasdale included previous poems from "Rivers to the Sea" and "Helen of Troy and Other Poems." As a result, the poems vary wildly throughout the book.
It's a sad irony that Teasdale herself never had a really successful love affair; most of what she wrote was idealized romance.
In an era when poetry was being radically revamped, Teasdale generally stuck to Victorian poetry structures: simple rhyme schemes, rich phrasing, and a lot of nature descriptions, although in poems like "Summer Night, Riverside," she tried freestyle forms.
