Understanding by Sara Teasdale
Performed by
Sara TeasdaleUnderstanding Annotated
I understood the rest too well,
  And all their thoughts have come to be
Clear as grey sea-weed in the swell
  Of a sunny shallow sea.
But you I never understood,
  Your spirit's secret hides like gold
Sunk in a Spanish galleon
  Ages ago in waters cold.
