Harriet Monroe, ed. (1860–1936).  Poetry: A Magazine of Verse.  1912–22.
 
God-lover
By Muriel Safford
 
WHO are you?
Why do you hide behind
Your mask—the sun and stars?
 
The brazen day and
The moon-washed night        5
Are alms that you give your beggars.
 
I ask no mendicant’s pittance—
I cry for the supreme desolation of your face.
