This poem is a free verse, it is a very extended metaphor that is saying not all people are the same. This peom also has imagery when he says pretty a day i see kids playing on a park during a nice day. This poems true meaning is that even though what day it is or any hour all people are still different in some way. because what he says "lucy will learn and lily will pray" which means at the same time there alos going to be doing different things.
a pretty a day
(and every fades)
is here and away
(but born are maids
to flower an hour
in all,all)
o yes to flower
until so blithe
a doer a wooer
some limber and lithe
some very fine mower
a tall;tall
some jerry so very
(and nellie and fan)
some handsomest harry
(and sally and nan
they tremble and cower
so pale:pale)
for betty was born
to never say nay
but lucy could learn
and lily could pray
and fewer were shyer
than doll. doll
