| | | UNDER Monadnock, | |
| Fold on fold, | |
| The world’s fat kingdoms | |
| Lie unrolled. | |
| |
| Far in the blue south | 5 |
| City-smoke, swirled, | |
| Marks the dwellings | |
| Of the kings of the world. | |
| |
| Old kings and broken, | |
| Soon to die, | 10 |
| Once you had little, | |
| As little as I. | |
| |
| Smoke of the city, | |
| Blow in my eyes— | |
| Blind me a little, | 15 |
| Make me wise. | |
| |
| Dust of the city, | |
| Blow and gust— | |
| Make me, like all men, | |
| Color of dust. | 20 |
| |
| I stand on Monadnock, | |
| And seem to see | |
| Brown and purple kingdoms | |
| Offered to me. | | | | |
