FIRST LOVE by LIZETTE WOODWORTH REESE

Poet Analysis

First Line: MY NEIGHBOR YONDER, AT HER DOOR
Last Line: THE LAD SHE DID NOT WED.
Subject(s): LOVE - BEGINNINGS;

MY neighbor yonder, at her door,
Looks out and sees the bloom,
Turning the formal park before
Into a fair white room.

Of all her life or ill or good,
This is remembered, —
An old house set by an old wood;
The lad she did not wed.
