(forgetting something like a flower is simply forgotten)
Forgotten as a fire that once was singing gold,
(a fire is another thing that is just passed over)
Let it be forgotten for ever and ever,
(wants to forget)
Time is a kind friend, he will make us old.
(with time she will forget, and become old)
If anyone asks, say it was forgotten
(its all forgotten)
Long and long ago,
(it was a while ago)
As a flower, as a fire, as a hushed footfall
(things that are forgotten)
In a long forgotten snow.
(ends it comparing it to snow)
I think that this poem says exactly what it means. It is talking about forgetting something. Maybe a mistake or a bad memory. Sara Teasdale compares forgetting this memory to forgetting about simple everyday things like flowers, fire, and snow. I choose this poem because it is simple but has a meaning that is clearly expressed.
