Harriet Monroe, ed. (1860–1936).  Poetry: A Magazine of Verse.  1912–22.
 
Open a Door
By May Thomas Milam
 
OPEN a door suddenly,
  And you may see
Loved ones whom you call dead
  Happy and free.
 
Listen—oh, stealthily!—        5
  You’ll find it true,
These whom you weep for
  Are pitying you.
 
Close the door softly,
  Lest they may learn        10
They have been spied on,
  And never return.
