It has quite the same feeling and theme. Both poems talk about the possesion wealth and belongings on earth as something that is not required. In the poem of Ann Brad street, material belongings in the world are not important because she will getting more in heaven. The real life lies within heaven and not on earth. In the poem "world in hounding me", the treasures lies within the mind. It saids that wealth and treasures are not important. What's important is the gain of mind, the treasures and material belongings will fade into dust.
In the poem of Ann Bradstreet, the rhyme uses the tefchnique called "End rhyme". In the poem "world in hounding me" uses a sonnet. The abba abba rhyme scheme. Basically, the word vanity in these two poem is just in what i have discussed above. The people are not focused on the material goods, they are focussed on the goods of the mind and the level of spiritual values.
