“I Am Not Yours” by Sara Teasdale explores a deep longing for a kind of love that surpasses mere connection, seeking a union so complete that it borders on self-surrender. In the poem, the speaker acknowledges that, though she cares deeply for the person she addresses, she hasn’t yet found the overwhelming love she truly desires.
Teasdale expresses this longing through contrasts—being “not lost” but desiring to be “lost as a candle in the sun” or “swept…out to sea.” These images capture a desire to dissolve into something greater, almost like merging souls. She’s seeking a love that consumes her completely, where her sense of self is “lost” in the intensity of connection.
The poem’s simplicity enhances its emotional depth, blending serenity with a quiet but powerful yearning. This musical setting, written for SATB choir and solo cello, brings these layers to life, with passages of soft contemplation that build toward an expressive peak before returning to a place of tender, quiet reverence.
