Harriet Monroe, ed. (1860–1936).  Poetry: A Magazine of Verse.  1912–22.
 
Wisdom through Tears
By Miriam Allen deFord
 
I CANNOT seek to hold you—
  Holding is losing:
Never my arms can fold you
  But by your choosing.
 
What if beside me lie        5
  Flesh and blood merely;
And the soul wanders high
  I love so dearly?
