“The garland briefer than a girl’s”
I love this poem and I understand all of the meanings involved, but that one line. How is a garland briefer than a girl’s? A girl’s what? No amount of research has helped.

Excellent question. I have no idea.
And if you do find out, please let me know. Otherwise, it's one of those mystery lines, like the pompitous of love, take out tcp, and just what the heck Billy Joe threw off of that Tallahatchie Bridge.
