Understanding
by Sara Teasdale


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.
