Analysis of Enough
Sara Teasdale 1884 (St. Louis) – 1933 (New York City)
It is enough for me by day
To walk the same bright earth with him;
Enough that over us by night
The same great roof of stars is dim.
I do not hope to bind the wind
Or set a fetter on the sea --
It is enough to feel his love
Blow by like music over me.
