These poems were originally published together in the

Millay in 1917.


     Kin to Sorrow

Am I kin to Sorrow,
   That so oft
Falls the knocker of my door ---
   Neither loud nor soft,
But as long accustomed,
   Under Sorrow's hand?
Marigolds around the step
   And rosemary stand,
And then comes Sorrow--
   And what does Sorrow care
For the rosemary
   Or the marigolds there?
Am I kin to Sorrow?
   Are we kin?
That so oft upon my door--
   Oh, come in!
