Reading Questions
1. What is the situation of this poem? Who is speaking? Who is "you"? What are the clues in the poem which answer these questions?
2. Is this the kind of poem which you would expect from this situation? Would you call it romantic, realistic, or both? Explain your response.
3. Consider how the poem might be read differently and more or less sympathetically by different readers (a young girl or boy, a college student, a new or experienced mother, a father, even a grandparent).
