William Stanley Braithwaite, ed. (1878–1962). Anthology of Massachusetts Poets. 1922.

The Storm

SHE reached for sunset fires,

And lived with stars and the sea,

The mountains for her temple,

The storm for priest had she.

Together a libation

They poured to the God she knew,

Such wine as ageless heavens

And lonely wisdom brew.

Now she has done with worship,

For her all rites are the same;

Yet the storm keeps green forever

The moss upon her name.
