SHOP GIRL by EZRA POUND

Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

First Line: FOR A MOMENT SHE RESTED AGAINST ME
Last Line: AND THE HARLOTS OF BAUDELAIRE.

For a moment she rested against me
Like a swallow half blown to the wall,
And they talk of Swinburne's women,
And the shepherdess meeting with Guido.
And the harlots of Baudelaire.
