Poet Analysis

First Line: IN THE TWILIGHT, SILENT SMILED
Last Line: SINCE, DEAR MAIDEN, DEAD THOU ART.
Subject(s): DAISIES; DEATH; FLOWERS; LAMENT; LOVE; DEAD, THE;
IN the twilight, silent smiled
All alone the daisy's eyelid,
Fringed with pink-tipped petals piled.
—In the morning 'twas no more;
In its place a gout of gore.
Break of day was break of heart,
Since, dear maiden, dead thou art.
