This is a sweet poem, dedicated to a young, beautiful housewife.
Williams recognizes that a woman looks her most beautiful just after she has woken up and is in a sense, at her purest moment. Sweet, vulnerable, and unaware of her beauty. I really like this poem. And the footnote was entertaining, claiming that Williams said, "Whenever a man sees a beautiful woman it's an occasion for poetry," which is poetry in itself.
