THE UNEXPLORER by EDNA ST. VINCENT MILLAY

Poet Analysis

First Line: THERE WAS A ROAD RAN PAST OUR HOUSE
Last Line: (THAT'S WHY I HAVE NOT TRAVELLED MORE.)

There was a road ran past our house
Too lovely to explore.
I asked my mother once -- she said
That if you followed where it led
It brought you to the milk-man's door.
(That's why I have not travelled more.)
