The poem "Portrait by a Neighbor" was written by Edna St. Vincent Millay. The poem was published in A Few Figs From Thistles: Poems and Four Sonnets in 1922.

The poem is about a woman who is observed by a neighbor. This neighbor is telling us about a usual day of the woman who lives nearby. He/she describes how the woman wakes up early before the sunrise to sweep and wash all the dishes, which is to do all the housework; how she takes care of her garden and her lawn looks beautiful and perfect. From the poem, we can understand that a woman is hardworking and she is beautiful in her daily life routines.
