I wish I could remember that first day Poem by Christina Rossetti

Sonnet two of Christina Rossetti's Monna Innominata: A Sonnet of Sonnets (1881), "I wish I could remember that first day" is about reminiscing about one's first love. The speaker expresses how if she could, she would try to remember all the little things that seemed to mean nothing in the past. They mean a lot to her now.
