2 plants to i.d., anyone?

By "anyone", I mean someone who has seen these plants in real life. I can google as well as you can.

These are on an island at an urban intersection in Maine, zone 4B/5A. It's a neglected garden plot but I don't know how many years it has gone un-tended. It's in full sun and not sheltered from the wind. They share the space with milkweed, meadow sage, bull thistle, 2 large but not overgrown red Japanese burberry and one large golden mound spirea.

The sagey-looking thing is about ten inches tall.

The vine has pointed leaves and small white flowers.

Update:

oooh, I hope it is gayfeather. It's looking more and more like someone tried to have a butterfly garden.
