The "neighbor's daughter" in this poem is a poor rural girl, living a hard life, lacking the protection of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and living in poverty. In contrast, the "neighbor's man" who comes and goes freely is well dressed and has superior economic conditions and social status.
The poem describes that when the "neighbor's daughter" is eager to change her poverty, she sees the wealth and honor of the "neighbor's man" and admires him. This reflects the gap between the rich and the poor in society at that time, and the social hierarchy and wealth distribution pattern at that time caused inequality between men and women.
