   • What Lips My Lips Have Kissed, And Where, And Why (Sonnet Xliii) What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why, I have forgotten, and what arms have lain.
   • Love Is Not All. Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink. Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain; Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink.
   • The Spring And The Fall. In the spring of the year, in the spring of the year, I walked the road beside my dear. The trees were black where the bark was wet.
   • Conscientious Objector. I shall die, but. that is all that I shall do for Death. I hear him leading his horse out of the stall; I hear the clatter on the barn-floor.

   Aug 26, 2022 · Edna St. Vincent Millay is a great poet to start a multi-lesson investigation into the history of poetry and performance.

   By Edna St. Vincent Millay. What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why, I have forgotten, and what arms have lain. Under my head till morning; but the rain. Is full of ghosts tonight, that tap and sigh. Upon the glass and listen for reply, And in my heart there stirs a quiet pain. For unremembered lads that not again.

   By Edna St. Vincent Millay. I, being born a woman and distressed. By all the needs and notions of my kind, Am urged by your propinquity to find. Your person fair, and feel a certain zest. To bear your body’s weight upon my breast: So subtly is the fume of life designed, To clarify the pulse and cloud the mind,
