Harriet Monroe, ed. (1860–1936).  Poetry: A Magazine of Verse.  1912–22.
 
Places
By Carl Sandburg
 
From “Days”

ROSES and gold
For you today,
And the flash of flying flags.
 
      I will have
      Ashes,        5
      Dust in my hair,
      Crushes of hoofs.
 
Your name
Fills the mouth
Of rich man and poor.        10
      Women bring
Armfuls of flowers
And throw on you.
 
      I go hungry
      Down in dreams        15
      And loneliness,
      Across the rain
      To slashed hills
Where men wait and hope for me.
