William Stanley Braithwaite, ed. (1878–1962). Anthology of Massachusetts Poets. 1922.

Envoi

I WALKED with poets in my youth,

Because the world they drew

Was beautiful and glorious

Beyond the world I knew.

The poets are my comrades still,

But dearer than in youth,

For now I know that they alone

Picture the world of truth.
