| Harriet Monroe, ed. (1860–1936). Poetry: A Magazine of Verse. 1912–22. | | | | Without Sleep | | By Glenway Wescott |
| | From “Still-hunt”
HE earns the oblivion of book and shelf | |
| Who will have for muse a Beatrice | |
| Sitting content by the hearth | |
| To whisper his history and thought. | |
| |
| Poet uncuckolded, he hears | 5 |
| No mad ethereal crying | |
| For merciless cloud and ridge | |
| Tormented by the golden horn. | |
| |
| Ah, she will never lift | |
| Her intolerant head like a stag | 10 |
| And scorn him, thinking of wind | |
| And naked hunter and his hallooing hound. | | | | |
