LOVE-FREE I am free of love as a bird flying south in the autumn, Swift and intent, asking no joy from another, Glad to forget all of the passion of April Ere it was love-free. I am free of love, and I listen to music lightly, But if he returned, if he should look at me deeply, I should awake, I should awake and remember I am my lover's. By Sara Teasdale

In this poem, the speaker is mentioning how they have moved on from the love that they have felt for their former love interest. The speaker also states how they are ''Glad to forget all of the passion of April''. However, at the end of the poem, the speaker says that if their love interest were to return and look at them ''deeply'' the speaker should ''awake'' and be theirs again.
