The Little Ghost by Edna St. Vincent Millay<\/p>\n

I knew her for a little ghost
\nThat in my garden walked;
\nThe wall is high?higher than most?
\nAnd the green gate was locked.<\/p>\n

And yet I did not think of that
\nTill after she was gone?
\nI knew her by the broad white hat,
\nAll ruffled, she had on.<\/p>\n

By the dear ruffles round her feet,
\nBy her small hands that hung
\nIn their lace mitts, austere and sweet,
\nHer gown’s white folds among.<\/p>\n

I watched to see if she would stay,
\nWhat she would do?and oh!
\nShe looked as if she liked the way
\nI let my garden grow!<\/p>\n

She bent above my favourite mint
\nWith conscious garden grace,
\nShe smiled and smiled?there was no hint
\nOf sadness in her face.<\/p>\n

She held her gown on either side
\nTo let her slippers show,
\nAnd up the walk she went with pride,
\nThe way great ladies go.<\/p>\n

And where the wall is built in new
\nAnd is of ivy bare
\nShe paused?then opened and passed through
\nA gate that once was there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
