Explore "New Neighbors" by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Within the window's scant recess, / Behind a pink geranium flower, / She sits and sews, and sews and sits, / From patient hour to patient hour.
As woman-like as marble is, / Or as a lovely death might be -- / A marble death condemned to make / A feint at life perpetually.
