THE BROKEN DOOR by JEANNETTE AUGUSTUS MARKS

First Line: THIS IS THE PLACE! I KNOW
Last Line: TIME'S STEP IS SLOW TO FOLLOW.
Subject(s): WELLESLEY COLLEGE;
THIS is the place! I know
The broken door, the ragged bed of bloom
Where poppies grow,
Row after row,

This is the place.
A year ago her footprint
Marked the garden path
With tender hollow.

But now?
Time's step is slow to follow.
