Harriet Monroe, ed. (1860–1936).  Poetry: A Magazine of Verse.  1912–22.
 
Spouts
By William Carlos Williams
 
IN this world of
as fine a pair of breasts
as ever I saw,
the fountain in
Madison Square        5
spouts up of water
a white tree,
that dies and lives
as the rocking water
in the basin        10
turns from the stone rim
back upon the jet
and rising there
reflectively drops down again.
