Sara Teasdale was born in St. Louis, Missouri to a wealthy family. As a young woman, she traveled to Chicago and met Harriet Monroe and the literary circle surrounding #Poetry.
Sara won the first Columbia Prize for Poetry in 1918, an award that would later be renamed the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.
#Poem "There will come soft rains" [Sara Teasdale]
There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;
And frogs in the pools singing at night,
And wild plum trees in tremulous white,
Robins will wear their feathery fire
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;
And not one will know of the war, not one
Will care at last when it is done.
Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree
If mankind perished utterly;
And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn,
Would scarcely know that we were gone.
