"Recuerdo" is a poem about memories. Recuerdo means memory in Spanish. The speaker is recalling a time she spent with a boy she loved riding back and forth on the NY Ferry all night. Even though they had subway fare, they chose to ride the ferry because it is more intimate at night (fewer people, moonlight, under the stars).
Edna St. Vincent Millay motivated many women to follow their dreams, and break out from being "normal."

vbnmnn,
Edna St. Vincent Millay adopted "Vincent" from her mother's maiden name, which she added to her own as a tribute to her mother. This name change allowed her to establish her own identity and distinguish herself as a poet.
