| Harriet Monroe, ed. (1860–1936). Poetry: A Magazine of Verse. 1912–22. | | | | The Spring | | By Ezra Pound |
| | | CYDONIAN spring with her attendant train, | |
| Maelids and water-girls, | |
| Stepping beneath a boisterous wind from Thrace, | |
| Throughout this sylvan place | |
| Spreads the bright tips, | 5 |
| And every vine-stock is | |
Clad in new brilliancies.
And wild desire | |
| Falls like black lightning. | |
| O bewildered heart, | |
| Though every branch have back what last year lost, | 10 |
| She, who moved here amid the cyclamen, | |
| Moves only now a clinging tenuous ghost. | | | | |
