Harriet Monroe, ed. (1860–1936). The New Poetry: An Anthology. 1917.

Emmy Veronica Sanders

YOU whom Death wrung

That you might thus achieve

Crystalline drops of beauty,

Do not grieve

That from the sun-drenched purple places

They gathered you so soon …

Envy us not who may,

With withered faces,

Watch the gray night suspend a haggard moon.
