Harriet Monroe, ed. (18601936). Poetry: A Magazine of Verse. 191222. | | A Lady of the Snows | By Harriet Monroe |
| From Mountain Poems THE MOUNTAIN hemlock droops her lacy branches | |
Oh, so tenderly | |
In the summer sun! | |
Yet she has power to baffle avalanches | |
She, rising slenderly | 5 |
Where the rivers run. | |
|
So pliant yet so powerful! Oh, see her | |
Spread alluringly | |
Her thin sea-green dress! | |
Now from white winters thrall the sun would free her | 10 |
To bloom unenduringly | |
In his glad caress. | | | |
